Scientists are looking for new ways to take care of colds, one of the ways they found is that taking Zinc will help get ride of the cold. 

The Zinc can take away colds, sore throats and running noise. But they advise that you do not take the Zinc for a long period of time because the Zinc can make you really sick. If you take it for to long it can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Once you start taking the Zinc medication it will try to stop the cold to get in your body in the first place but it will also stop them from going through your noise which they usually travel through. Another thing is that the Zinc will stop you from having it again so if you have it once you shouldn't have it again.

To me this paper or report sounds kinda interesting and i learned that elements such as Zinc can be used to help make people better. This is a good report and sound pretty cool.
