De: "That's probably the case, but it's not your theory...Unfortunately, there are many other viruses that don't need to take root in the nose. You're still going to catch colds even if you use your Neti-pot diligently."
fIZ > I'm trying to make sense of your statement (figure out exactly what you mean).
For what it's worth . . .
I'm thinking that when one breathes, the 'outside air' gets sucked into the lungs - frequently through the nose. Making the nasal passages the first and most likely spot for virii or bacterium to lodge.
But the air, and possibly virii or bacterium, DOES get sucked all the way into the lungs offering the possibility for said germs to lodge in the lungs then propagate.
What are the odds that some cold germs have mutated precisely to facilitate such an 'attack vector'? I'd say pretty good.
