I'm going on vacation in a week and a half, and I always feel like I'm about to catch a cold, right before I leave. I don't have any symptoms, whatsoever, but I always start getting worried the week before I leave. It must be psychosomatic.

I was really lucky this spring break. me and my family were going to the dominican republic, and a week and a half before we left, i got strep throat (sp?). fortunatly, it got better a day before we left!

Summer colds suck especially when your on vacation. I find that taking an extra multi-vitamin and zinc lozenges help fight off colds. Remember drink plenty of fluids and have fun on your vaction.

You have to nuke the cold with vitamin C and those cold-ez things before you get it. That way you can enjoy your vacation. I can't stand colds, you can't breathe, you can't hear, and you have a head ache. They ruin everything.

Here's my hypothesis:

Viruses enter the body through soft tissues (eyes, gums, etc).
Flossing your teeth hardens your gums, making it harder for viruses to get into your system.
Flossing your teeth may reduce your chances of catching cold.

Also - are you sure its not allergies u are having?
