Ah-Choo!: The Uncommon Life of Your Common Cold Hardcover - 2010 - 1st Edition

by Jennifer Ackerman

Ackerman explains what, exactly, a cold is, how it works, and whether it's really possible to "fight one off." Scientists call this the Golden Age of the Common Cold because Americans suffer up to a billion colds each year, resulting in 40 million days of missed work and school and 100 million doctor visits.
