Question

cold. Does that mean if you ran around in a T shirt in the snow you would be ok?

Answer 1

The virus is the way of getting the cold but going out in the cold with no t-shirt on will lower your immune system which fights off infection so you will be more prone to catch an illness.

Answer 2

If you run around in the snow for long enough with no clothes on you will get hypothermia and die. Unless you encounter a cold virus whilst running you will not get a cold (unless you had already picked up the virus before the running).

Answer 3

Your granma was soooo wrong, you can run about in flimsy t shirts in winter, not wear a vest and leave your coat unzipped, and still not catch a cold. However, if someone with a cold comes really close to tell you to put a coat on, you will!

Answer 4

The cold is a virus and you catch it from people who are infected. Taking Vit C helps improve the immune system and makes your chances of catching it lessen.

My mother still tells me to go out with a coat on and not to go out with wet hair in case i catch cold, you gotta love her.........
