RE: Myth or Fact? #19 – Cold weather makes you catch a cold

in #science8 years ago (edited)

Sure that is a good point to make. The old wives tail that if you get cold you'll catch a cold, is true. Not for the reasoning exactly that mother's and grandmother's thought, and perhaps not due to anything that bundling up in a coat and hat can help with. The cold disrupts the functioning of interferon in our nasal pathways, our first line of defense against viral Invaders.
