thanx.

that's bullshit. this statistic is way off.. no way it's 80%.. i've walked many a times outside in a t shirt to the corner store in -40 deg blizzards, and no way it's 80% of the time i caught a cold.

i'd say it's more like 5-10%, max...

Total misrepresentation being outside in the cold will not increase your chances of catching a cold.

If I keep running in the blizzard without a coat I might not get sick

Lets see how this plays out

common sense says?

**flyingillini** · 11-14-10, 06:53 PM

I was in the coldest weather of my life the last 3 nights in Montreal. I have been sneezing all day, hope I didn't get sick. It's nice to be back in the hot sun!

**stealthyburrito** · 11-14-10, 10:33 PM

germs cause colds, not cold air on your bare arms

**ronjon619** · 11-14-10, 11:10 PM

it gets a runny nose from time to time but nothing that's ever made it have to use a sick day

If your body is using its resources to deal with severe cold, it may be less ready to fight off a bug...

i hate motorists who drives so close by you that you get splashed by their tires

**Wulfman14** · 11-15-10, 09:05 AM

if your body is cold it is more prone to germs and bacteria . that is why people get sick when it is cold outside. it is not the cold that is making you sick. it is your weakened immune system that bacteria is taking advantage of.

I have to agree with NIcky here. The most will happen is you will get a chill running through you for a few hours until you warm up, but you will not "get a cold." you usually "get a cold" via viruses na dnot from cold weather.
