The common cold really lives up to its name. With over 100 known cold viruses, it’s one of the most common respiratory illnesses out there.

But how do we actually catch it? 🤧

Cold viruses spread easily through coughs, sneezes and close contact. They can linger on surfaces like door handles, phones and toys for hours. All it takes is touching a contaminated surface and then your nose, mouth or eyes to get sick.

We also tend to see more colds in winter because we’re indoors more often and in closer contact with others. And if you’re tired, exposed to pollutants or living with a chronic lung condition like asthma or COPD, you may be more likely to pick one up.

A little awareness goes a long way in staying healthy this season. Stay mindful, stay rested and take care of your lungs! 🫁

Did you know…? Christmas Seals are a global tradition: the original idea came from a postman in Denmark! 📮

Christmas Seals were first created in Canada in 1907, and that first campaign raised $7,358.65 (nearly $200,000 today!).

More than 100 lung associations now use Christmas Seals to fuel lung health research and support. And we’re proud to be part of that legacy.
