Staying Out In The Cold Will Give You A Cold: Old Wive\'s Tale? Video Description:You've heard it from mom your whole life. But is true that cold weather can give you a cold? Hmmm... Transcript:No.  Being cold does not directly give you a cold, but it CAN weaken your immune system. Also, when it’s cold OUTSIDE, people tend to stay INSIDE, where air circulation is sub-optimal. You come into closer contact with the people aound you—which CAN increase the likelihood that you will catch a cold. Colds are caused by viruses, and you can get the virus through inhaling infected air droplets sneezed or coughed by an infected person, or by touching something that an infected person has touched and then transferring the germs to your mouth or nose. With over 200 different types of cold viruses in any given season, you can potentially catch many different variants of the cold. BUT, you don''t get it from cold air, slush, wind, or other wintry conditions. So what's the best way to ward off this miserable virus? Wash your hands often.
