A member asked:
Can forced air heat cause you to catch a cold or a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I'm not sure what forced air heat is but colds and infection are spread mostly by contact with someone who is ill. We spread most viruses by mucous droplets, not from weather conditions or heated air.
