Possible reasons why I did not a get a cold all winter
1) Got really scrupulous about washing hands, esp. after riding the subway
2) Taking 1000 mg
Vitamin
D
every day
3) Got giant pack of boxes of soft tissues from Costco, still sitting in utility closet blocking access to everything

Thank you for the tip! I tend to focus on Vitamin C!

The effectiveness of prevention is in direct proportion to its inconvenience. Definitely the tissues.

Despite the sense of and temptation to subscribe to items 1 and 2, I daresay it was item 3. Isn't that one of the corollaries to Murphy's Law?

I'd say #3 is the real factor.
I never take vitamins and only really only remember to wash my hands before preparing meals or when they're actually dirty - AND I bite my fingernails, and I haven't had a cold or flu 10 or 12 years.

I think #3 is the real reason. The others only helped.
