Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious infection. A person is most likely to transmit the bacteria that cause this illness when he or she is experiencing symptoms, especially during the first three weeks of symptoms.
When Am I Most Contagious? Let's assume you're the one with the cold. During the two-week period when you're contagious, research indicates that you'll be most likely to transmit the cold virus when you're experiencing cold symptoms. The period when you're most contagious is when your symptoms are at their worst -- day 2 to day 4 of the cold. You'll become less contagious as the cold symptoms improve. Final Thoughts on the Common Cold Contagious Period Keep in mind that while it is possible to transmit the common cold or catch a cold, a cold virus is not as contagious as other viruses such as the flu virus or RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).
