Previously, several people on this list had said that studies indicated that 
colds and flu (I believe) were only able to be transmitted through the eyes; 
that inoculation with the virus in the nose or mouth did not cause a subject to 
come down with the disease.  

If this is the case, what does that say about the efficacy of face masks to 
prevent getting the disease.  It would only keep the sick one from spreading 
it.  Perhaps everyone else should be wearing goggles!!!
