[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1013755, member: 13050"] We were as kids always told not to go outside with wet hair or we would catch a cold, I think that was just my mom's way of keeping us inside after we had bathed :) - [i]Drafty rooms or wet hair Sleeping in a room with a draft will not make you sick. This is a riff on the old wives’ tale that going outside with wet hair will cause a cold. While being chilly is unpleasant, it doesn’t make you any more likely to get sick. It’s true that we’re more prone to infection in cold weather, but that’s because we’re indoors more, spreading our germs. If you stay inside your house and blast the heat, you’re also more likely to dry up your body’s protective barriers in your nasal passages, increasing your risk for airborne pathogens. Don’t be afraid of a little cold – it may even stimulate your immune system![/i] [/QUOTE]
