I woke up this morning with a pounding headache, running nose, a cough and absolutely no desire to get out of bed. We are approaching winter and I guess it is now cold season. But why exactly do I need to feel this bad, when all I have is a common cold? During my bed-bound research, I found out, that researchers from all kinds of disciplines, from evolutionists to neuroscientist, have tried to figure out the advantages and mechanisms of feeling like crap.
