Code Of The Common Cold This article is about how the scientists have begun to solve some of the mysteries of the common cold and may lead to the development of the first effective treatments of the common cold.

Scientists solve some of the mysteries of the common cold by putting together the pieces of the genetic codes for all the known strains of the human rhinovirus. Till date, there has been no success in developing effective drugs to cure the common cold. People generally think of colds as a nuisance. However, they can trigger asthma attacks to people of any age. Recent studies also indicate that early rhinovirus infection in children can program their immune system to develop asthma by adolescence.

From this article, I have learnt that we are very close in getting the first effective treatments for the common cold. At the same time, this is very important as many people do not know the dangers of the common cold and treat it just as a plain nuisance. Therefore, we must be wary of what a cold can be cause and know the consequences that would be faced if we treat colds as a nuisance. Also, this article proves how efficient researchers and scientists are.

This article helps me to understand more about what the researchers had found out therefore I find it very interesting as it raises my curiosity. I feel that the findings are very important to every single one reading this article as it can prevent asthma attack from triggering if we take extra notice when down with common cold.
