Editing Common Cold (section)

==Prevention==
Staying warm as much as possible or maintaining high enough [[Immune System]] strength. 

* When a heat buff from a fireplace or other heat source wears off, the survivor will gain a 5-minute '''temporary resistance''' to Common Cold. So even if the person is freezing cold, they cannot catch the illness while the resistance is active.
Avoiding survivors infected with the Common Cold is recommended because the [[sneezing]] can spread the disease. If the adequate distance can't be kept, both parties can wear protective headwear or masks. 

*The following clothing will offer a full or partial protection against the infection: [[Burlap Sack|Burlap sack]] (on the head), [[Motorbike Helmet]], [[Welding Mask]], any gasmask, [[Dust Mask]], [[Balaclava]], [[Ski Mask]], [[Surgical Mask]], [[Mime Mask]], [[OKZK Cap]], [[Winter Coif]], [[Great Helm]]. Only the gas masks are guaranteed to prevent the transmission when worn by either party in the sneezing event.

Avoiding sharing any partially eaten food or drinks with a sick survivor. This applies to the sick survivor themself after they've recovered from the Cold, because their own items can cause a reinfection when consumed. The contaminated water can be treated with [[Chlorine Tablets]], [[Chelating Tablets]] or by boiling. Emptying the water container will also clear out any diseases.
