How have I caught a cold? I haven't been anywhere or seen anyone?

I am currently stuck at home writing my thesis. I am at my desk typing for 11 hours of the day. I literally haven't done anything or seen anyone since NYE.

I do see my family and they are out and about - but none of them are sick. Can they have given me a cold without having got it themselves?

I thought it was allergies and have increased my antihistamene (various cat, fabric and house dust allergies) but I'm starting to think it's an actual cold. Itchy throat, red eyes, runny nose...

Yes, people can be carriers of a virus without showing any symptoms.

Well, that's my answer then. I didn't know that!
