Are kids making parents sick?

The next time your child coughs in your face, you might want to thank them...

If you’ve got little kids, you’re probably immune to them sneezing in your food and touching your stuff with their filthy fingers - literally immune. A new study found that parents are actually 50% less likely to catch colds than non-parents. And the more kids you have, the better protected you are. 

There is one exception to the rule. Younger parents, ages 18 to 23, had less protection than 24 to 55 year old parents. They caught just as many colds as non-parents in their age group.
