Around how many colds do you get per year?

I usually get two colds. One in winter, and one in summer. I noticd that in the last 3 years, I'm only getting one per year. I'm really bad at drinking lots of water, and forcing myself to drink more. I think the excess trips to the bathroom are helping, as I am washing my hands more often. Yet another bonus.

2 or 3. I'm in the last stages of a nasty one right now. I had a fever, aches and pains and at some points I was coughing so hard I vomited. Not because of nausea, but because the coughing bothered my gag reflex.

It seems like parents of young kids bring it to where my husband works, he brings it home and then I get it. .

At most, 1 per year. I do wash my hands frequently but I don't avoid touching things like doorknobs, shopping carts etc.

Maybe 1 every 3 to 4 years. DH on the other hand generally gets one every year.

Hardly ever, maybe once a year. I don't worry that much about door knobs (except public bathrooms) and only wash my hands after going to the bathroom and before cooking. I don't use hand sanitizer.

With little kids in the house who are now out going to play groups and preschool, several a year.
When the kids are older, not as many, but still probably at least 2-3.

I wash my hands constantly at home, but I think kisses, shared food, little kids who sneeze directly in my face probably contributes to the spread of disease in this house.

I get probably 3 to 5 a year. I wash my hands all the time. Some are just little sniffles and a cough but at least 2 of them a year are really bad and take me a long time to get over. Once I told my doctor that I had a cold for a little over a month she said that a cold can't last that long that she believed I was getting over one cold and immediately catching another cold. I was thinking whatever lady I was still sick for over a month I couldn't care less which germs caused it.

I work at a nursing home where a lot of the residents don't cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze and many of them don't wash their hands unless someone does it for them. I think that's why I get sick so much.

This is me as well. Unfortunately, though I have allergies especially around this time of year. 

I had a cold this year - my first in maybe 3 or 4 years. I use a sinus rinse daily and am sure that helps keep things at bay.

For the past five years I've worked in hospitals and I've had maybe two colds in all that time. And haven't been sick with anything else. I'd like to think I'm not "paranoid" about germs but rather "prudent". lol. I use hand sanitizer every time I turn around at the hospital, plus I was my hands with soap after about five or six patients. No matter where I am I never touch the restroom door handle after I've washed my hands. If it's not a push door I use a paper towel. I also try not to rub my eyes or touch my mouth. 

Now...I just started substitute teaching at the very end of last year. I wasn't sick at all during those two months. Fast forward to now, school has only been in session since September and I've already had one cold. Those kids are little germ incubators.... ! 

I work in the schools. I get a mild cold at the beginning of the school year. It's never bad enough to take meds or anything. It lasts maybe two days, if that.

My girls get sick once a year typically with a mild stomach bug. They may get a very mild cold once a year, too. Desks are *filthy* and both share desks with several children (changing classes.) I remind them to wash their hands/sanitize before lunch but I think they forget sometimes.

I catch a cold about once every 5 years - seriously! And I get a stomach virus maybe once every 15 years. I'm one lucky girl . I teach, so I think I must have become immune to most things early on. I was constantly sick the first two years I taught.

I feel like answering this might be cursing myself. I haven't had a cold for probably 7-8 years. I get step if I catch something. That is cured with a z pack in 24 hours. I work in a school and lots of teachers get sick multiple times a year.
