I'm always wary of the common cold around this time of the year.

Thanks for the tips, I definitely will. Do these symptoms happen immediately after exposure to the virus?
1_Wizard
No, it can take 2 days or so to appear.

How long does it take to recover from the common cold if you get it?
1_Wizard
Normally it goes away in 7 to 10 days, but some symptoms can linger around for 3 weeks!
