It takes three days for a cold to incubate into a full-fledged cold. When we go out to the store or go anywhere that other people open/close doors we touch, the first thing we do in the car is use hand-sanitizer. On those days when we feel something like a cold coming on, we do the math. Were we in public three days ago? (That includes people coming to visit or talking to a neighbor over the fence.) If not, then we don't worry about it.
If we were, then we worry about it. There is a lot less chances of colds without school-aged kids in the house, or parents of school-aged children. And the hand-sanitizer deals with anyone we don't know.
You had Blain over, so there is a chance he caught something in his travels that was inadvertently passed onto you. He doesn't even have to catch a cold for you to catch one. Just one germ in the wrong spot passed along.
We haven't had a cold in years. Possibly decades. (Very little contact with school-aged kids or parents of them. The closest we usually get is grandparents. lol)
On the other hand? Flu! That's a different matter. (We only get one of them about once every three years, but they're worse than colds. It also takes three days for the flu to incubate.)
