Aren't you going to catch a cold?

[โ€“] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No. A cold is a virus, you won't catch one by cooling yourself.

That's exactly what a virus that was trying to trick me would say...

[โ€“] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago

C'mon Greg, don't you wanna be cool ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

But, if the virus is already present in your system, cool and wet conditions can lower the effectiveness of your immune system. Tmyk

The cold is a viral disease and the cold virus is spread by the rain.
