As the beautiful Christmas snow flutters to the ground, this unwanted holiday guest often comes knocking at the door: the common Cold. Every year, as it gets colder, the immune system drops, leaving openings for many viruses that take days to weeks to overcome.
On the verge of cold recovery myself, My ASL Dictionary’s updated cartoon of a woman dressed for Winter shows the ASL hand sign for COLD.
The bent index finger and thumb press against the nostrils like a handkerchief covering a sneeze as the hand pulls down (good thing my dictionary also has the hand sign for washing your hands).
