The Common Cold, a Drain on Industry
Statistics on the common cold
stagger the imagination.
The Public Health Service,
U.S. Department of Health, Edu—
cation, and Welfare reports that
every person in the United States
catches at least one cold per year
and an average of about three. In
January and February, 60 million
people in the U.S. have colds.
The cold is the most prevalent of
all diseases, exceeding all other
diseases combined.
Sutherlands Top
There are 550 million colds a
vear, with the effects lasting an
average of 4 days. This means
that colds disable people in the
United States to some degree
2 billion, 2 hundred thousand
days a year.
Industry loses over 150 million
days a year due to absenteeism
resulting from colds, according to
the American Medical Associa—
tion. Colds annually cost industry

wages, and medical expenses.
The common cold‘s impact is
probably greater than any other
disease, vet very little is known
about its prevention and cure,
Medical authorities still debate
over what is, or is not, a cold.
Any one or combination of ail—
ments, such as sore throat, run—
ning nose, head and backaches,
and painful sinuses, may be con—
sidered a cold. Also, included in
the category of colds are such
miseries as sinus infections, ear
and eye infections, and intestinal
and stomach flu.
Little is known about the exact
cause of colds, but recent research
indicates there is a wide variety
of causes. People who have one
cold after another probably are
allergic to pollen or food, or are
inhaling irritating fumes or dust
where they work.
What should a worker do when
he catches a cold? The American
Medical Association recommends
the following:
— Stay home. By going to work,
you only spread the cold virus as
you talk, sneeze, and cough.
— Take a hot bath. As muscles
relax and small arteries in skin
open up, you‘ll feel better.
— Go to bed. A cold tires you
out and makes you more suscepti—
ble to other diseases. Keep well—
covered, avoid chilling or exposure
to drafts.
— Eat an adequate, well—
rounded diet. Don‘t worry about
drowning, drying up, or starving
the cold.
— Blow your nose gently,
through both sides to avoid ear
infections.
— Treat your cold as a highly
communicable
_
disease.
—
Cover
coughs and sneezes. Have your
own towel, glass, and dishes.
Blow your nose on disposable
tissues that can be burned in a
paper bag.
— Use steam from a kettle or
vaporizer to relieve nasal conges—
tion. Keep vaporizer far enough
away to avoid getting steam
directly in the face.
— See a doctor if a cold persists
more than a week, if you run
more than one degree temperature
for more than a day, or if you
have more than three colds a year.
— Don‘t waste your time with
folk cures such as catnip tea, hard
cider with cayenne peppe!, and
soaking feet in mustard baths.
