You don't have to be cold to catch a cold.

I love debunking myths, especially the ones our parents believe!
It is passed from one person to the next, usually by way of airborne droplets from a sneeze. You can also pick it up if your hands are dirty (with the virus) and you touch your eyes or nose. Catching a cold has nothing to do with the temperature outside, or whether or not your hair is wet.

AMAZING! why did we succumb to years of our parents dressing us in bundles and bundles (not to mention, at times, quite ugly) winter gear?
