A long time ago in Japanese school I was told there is a old Japanese saying/諺
that meant "You can get rid of your cold by giving it to someone else."

Does anyone know what that 諺 is?

諺(ことわざ): Get rid of your sickness by giving it to someone else?
I have heard such a saying several times, but it's not regarded as a
traditional proverb. It's more of a recurring joke, or a well-known
superstition at most. I think almost no Japanese people seriously believe
this. Perhaps you can google with 風邪は人にうつすと治る for more about this (this is not
a fixed phrase, and no dictionary contains this).
