How did this even happen??!
Any tips on not getting a cold when its 28 degrees outside? :v:
A cold is a disease, not alot to do with contracting it is about temperature.
It could be mild hayfever as it has similar symptoms.
Also it's a common misconception that you need to be cold to get a cold. In fact, the cold virus dies in the cold. People associate it with winter because we spend all day cooped up in doors with the heating on, making the winter home the perfect breeding ground.
Prepare your weapons for shitstorm men.
Wash your hands more and don't touch your face as much. Two tips that can cut down on getting sick immensely.
Someone obviously didn't listen in biology

very informative! thank you
I often get a cold during the summer.
I have some dirt sore throat at the moment.
Hey OP, stop complaining. In Cambodia it's like 33 degrees every day. And it's humid as fuck. when it's 27, we're freezing our balls off.
You're doing it wrong.
I love to sit around and hawk up huge, almost solid lugees all day and spit them into my toilet like scrambled eggs.
Boy you are one dense fucker.
Actually the rhinoviruses that cause the common cold do prefear a slightly under 37ºC enviorement, so since your nose is usually at that temperature, if it's colder, the mean temperature in your nose will be lower, which makes it better. Still means you can get a cold if it's hotter, just not as quick and as bad.
You could say that OP...

GOT A WARM
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Common colds are seasonal, with more occurring during winter. The experimental evidence for this effect is uneven: many experiments have failed to produce evidence that short-term exposure to cold weather or direct chilling increases susceptibility to infection, implying that the seasonal variation is instead due to a change in behaviors such as increased time spent indoors at close proximity to others.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold#cite_note-NIAID2006-8"][/URL][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold#cite_note-pmid12357708-19"][/URL] However, other experiments do find such an effect for both body chilling and cold air exposure, and a number of mechanisms by which lower temperatures could compromise the immune system have been suggested,
