Most people around this time of year feel if they or their children come in contact with someone who has a runny nose and cough that they'll catch the influenza virus and become sick. No, that's not true! If "catching" the flu were true, everyone would get sick this time of year.

In order to do anything, a certain chemical has to be produced in the right quantity at the right time and in the right place. For example, you can look at your body like …
