Living Spiritually - by upma

Subsidiary effect of common cold

Common cold is a very common disease seen every where but the side effects often seen are not observed by every one. Today in the news paper I read the notes of survey of AC Nielsen for a pharmaceutical company.

As common
cold is the contagious disease which can heal without antibiotics, they just need symptomatic treatement. Indians prefer to take a lot of precautions like affected mothers tend to stay away from their little ones, fearing instant transmission.

A majority of urbanites suffering from sniffles affect the productivity in office. 29% tend to leave work early, while 23% simply stay at home.

30% of men want to be left alone, they abstain from sex. 27% women and 25% men avoid kissing while nursing runny noses and fighting general discomfort. Overall, 18% of those surveyed even avoided holding their's parteners hands. The only silver lining to this fact is 18% of the men felt that women sounded sexy on the phone when they had a cold.

58% of mothers ensured that their children didn't play with other children suffering from a cold and 81% of over-protective mums don't allow their children to play outside if the sky is cloudy.


The survey found that 57% of women rushed to doctors as compared to 47% men. People are least social while battling the snifles.
