Well, no remedy for this cold, but I should point out
that in the Palaeolithic, colds were not a problem.
Colds are a disease of agricultural societies and of 
unnaturally-dense living that is a feature of human 
over-population.

They are caused by a virus which spreads quickly in our
closely-settled societies. Our bodies take a few days to 
build up immunity and this lasts until we catch the next 
variant of the rhinovirus from someone in our crowded
societies.
