The Common Cold is a passive item.

Effects[ | ]

  • Adds a chance to shoot poison tears, dealing damage over time when inflicted.
    • (in Rebirth) The poison randomly hits either 2 or 3 times, dealing a total of 4 or 6 damage.
    • (except in Rebirth) The poison hits 2 times, dealing a total of 2x Isaac's damage.

Notes[ | ]

  • The chance to fire slowing tears depends on the luck stat, and the formula used to determine the chance is:
    • At base luck (0), the chance is 25%, maxing out at 100% at 12 luck.

  • Pinky EyePinky Eye: Activation rates are individually applied to each tear, effectively allowing for higher amounts of poison tears. However at 12 Luck, the trinket will not do anything for Isaac as The Common Cold is guaranteed to make every tear poisoned at that point.
