The mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion, even excitement about serious public health issues such as this silk Rhinovirus tie in black. Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects. Shop and take pride in knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to disease research/education. "Start the Conversation!" Rhinovirus (Common Cold) is one of over 100 distinct RNA viruses that most often cause the common cold. Infection is transmitted by direct contact, aerosol inhalation, or indirectly by contaminated objects (fomites). Symptoms include dry scratchy throat, headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, and malaise...but then, you knew that! A back-of-tie "Awareness Note" and a source citation are incorporated in the pattern design, which reads: "RHINOVIRUS (Common Cold) is one of many distinct RNA viruses that most often cause the common cold. Symptoms include dry scratchy throat, headache, nasal congestion and malaise. Infection is transmitted by direct contact or inhalation, or indirectly by hands and contaminated objects."
