Colds from cold weather

If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold? Not necessarily? Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet Statistically, colds do seem most common in winter and least frequent in June and July Observers of such patterns

of occurrence therefore reasoned that keeping warm help to prevent colds, while getting cold and wet produced colds

But if this is so, how can we explain accounts for Artic and Antartic explorers who, in spite of exhaustion, near starvation, and exposure to frigid

conditions, didn’t catch cold? Then, upon returning to the warmth and comforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds

Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of prisoners of World War II Nari concentration camp During the late Autumn and Winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and then stand wet and naked in

the open air They fully expected to catch colds, to their surprise, most didn’t
