Just because a guy cowers in bed with aches and chills, while his girlfriend barely catches the sniffles, doesn鈥檛 make him a wuss. Women are simply less likely to succumb to bugs, the Telegraph reports.聽Compared with men, an Australian study found, women have a 鈥渕uch stronger immune response鈥� to rhinoviruses 鈥� the germs responsible for the common cold.

The report confirms earlier research at 香蕉视频, which found the sex hormone estrogen boosts women鈥檚 immunity by blocking the expression of a gene that leaves the body vulnerable to infections. McGill researchers suggested an immune-boosting treatment containing estrogen may be available somewhere down the road.
