Will you catch a cold by going out without a coat?
“Put on that coat before you go outside” is probably one of the most used and favorite phrases of mother.
But does putting on a jacket or not have anything to do with getting sick?
Cold doesn't mean you'll catch a cold.
Sore throat and runny nose occur when viruses find their way to your mouth, eyes or nose.
This usually happens because you came into contact with it by someone else who was infected.
Given the higher number of colds and other diseases during the colder winter months, it is likely that a misunderstanding has arisen that you will catch a cold by coming out without a coat or with wet hair.
But in fact, a cold arises more often because in the winter months you are more often indoors and are closer to each other, so viruses and diseases can spread more easily.
