***But the real truth is that we should blame viruses, not the cold weather. So feel free to walk around with wet hair and bare feet during winter. What’s more, experts believe that staying inside more may make it easier to spread germs.***
Can’t agree that walking around with wet hair and bare feet during winter doesn’t “cause” colds. If you’ve been exposed to a cold, you might fight it off. But, if you lessen the body’s resistance to it by not taking normal precautions, the cold will win out and you’ll be sneezing, coughing and hoarsely declaring that, “I have a colt in my head.” To which I’ll respond, “You are a little horse, aren’t you?”
Agreed, getting cold and wet lowers your resistance to that cold virus that your body might otherwise have fought off. Stay warm and dry in cold wet weather. Mamma said!
