Common Cold
corroborated
Short answer
Sneezing after cold exposure or contact with a sick survivor is the classic early respiratory route. Get warm and treat before it progresses.
Also: cold · sneezing · common cold
What to do
Raise heat comfort out of the cold state. Avoid close contact and shared consumables with teammates. Use the current verified cold-treatment route if needed. Watch for coughing and fever, which indicate progression.
How it works
The common cold is the first stage of a respiratory progression. Warmth is part of treatment and prevention, not just comfort.
