Cold Info
Though I didn't bother to correct my mom's email where she said that it takes 7 to 10 days to start showing symptoms of the common cold, I'll do so here. From Wayne Schmidt's Cold Page:

It's possible that symptoms could appear in as little as ten hours after being exposed, but it usually takes two days. The length of the incubation period depends on whether it was a massive exposure (millions of cold viruses inhaled directly into the sinus cavity) or minor (one virus particle lodged in a nostril.) Also, each type of cold virus affects each person in a slightly different way. Some viruses are more aggressive and have more pronounced symptoms. Some people don't exhibit symptoms as violently as others.

Bad Edit?
Normally, my editing of photographs taken with our digital camera amounts to removing trash from the side of a pond or pasting more asphalt into a missing triangle after rotating a slightly crooked picture. So, what do you think of this change...too tacky? Go to that page and click next.
