Of course I’ve been right all along

Today when I picked up my daughters from the bus stop, my oldest one told me that she learned in school that cold weather doesn’t make you sick. I told her that was wrong but she still didn’t believe me. When we got home I got online and showed her the proof, and told her to ask her teacher to research it some more.

anything that stresses the immune system can tip the scale. cold weather is a stressor, but not everyone, every time, gets sick from being exposed to cold weather.

I would rather not take my chances and just bundle up nice and tight @pentacorn

@pentacorn My mom's doctor tells her if he had more patients like her, he'd go out of business.

There's also the exposure aspect too, but yes, stress the system, it opens up a greater risk for infection.

@SW-User it gets us all, in the end, if not some other event. good for your mom. good health is everything.

@SingleMother i bundle up, too. i have a weak immune system. and i don't like when my back gets cold and starts to hurt.

Exactly, it just doesn’t feel good to be cold, it always makes me feel like I’m getting sick. That’s why I’m always extra careful when it comes to getting dressed @pentacorn
