Are you immune to other colds if you have a cold?

In: Cold and Flu [Edit categories]

Answer:

Not necessarily. Although you are immune to the form of cold that you may have, there are thousands, even millions of different germs and bacteria that cause colds. Surprisingly, each cold will have different, if not obvious, symptoms. Basically, you cannot be reinfected by the same form of bacteria twice, but you can be infected by other forms. There is no way to be completely immune to colds.
