Outside Reading #7: Saliva Tells You a Cold Is Coming

Today, i read an article about a new test being created to predict when you are going to catch a cold. When tested, many people had a significantly less amount of bacteria-fighting protein in their saliva a couple weeks before getting a cold. This test can be done by doctors and there will hopefully be a take home version soon. I think this is very useful because it will prevent more sicknesses. They will be prevented because if you catch the bug early enough, it can be reversed and your immune system can be boosted up. If this is true and it is successful, it will bea huge break in modern technology because of the sickness it can prevent.
