Is it bad if you have been in the sun almost all day and take a shower at night when its cold?

Question

I mean taking a cold shower?

Answer 1

As lake season approaches, let me assure you that there are no known health concerns that I'm aware of with bathing in the cold of night.

The only people I can think of that take cold showers in winter are people with broken water heaters, overdue gas / electric bills and athletes that are last into the shower.

I've taken cool showers to take the sting out of a sunburn, (still warmer than lake water,) and I've taken showers to get chills out of joints. Think about the fact that doctors typically prescribe heat to relieve sore muscles and this suddenly becomes one of the strangest questions I've ever heard.

So, no, unless you have a strange condition that causes anomolous fluctuations in body temperature that results in hyperthermia or hypothermia, you'd be more likely to injure yourself with a loaf of bread.

Paramedics routinely treat heatstroke with cool baths, and hypothermia with gradually warming baths. And just because something feels good does always mean it's bad for you; you won't go blind, and if you're so far gone that someone else is administering the shower, you're more likely to aleady be in shock.

Answer 2

No, taking a shower would cool down your skin after being in the sun for such a long time.

Answer 3

no, it probably is a good idea to clean yourself after being outside all day and probably hot and sweaty. I'm confused why you might think this is a bad thing???? even if you get a sun burn the basic relief you do is place it in cold water, right???
