Could being cold also coincide with being outside working hard and getting tired, making one more susceptible to illness?

I have been correcting people for years that this you don't get a cold from the cold. Oh well.

Badly written article. Information supporting argument not presented. But if you click on the link to the source of the article, it states if the temperature of your nose drops, the immune cells lining the nose don't work as well (which usually create a "barrage of fluid-filled sacs") at lower temperatures - in the study, at about 5C. So basically the inference is to keep your nose warm.

Sorry not buying it until some good research comes out. I live in a winter time environment and keep my furnace either off or use my infrared heater if needed and I find I thrive and sleep better in the cold when it is that time of year as I believe nature intended. Some of my friends keep their home as a sauna during the winter and I hear complaints of dry/bleeding sinus issues and colds etc. So to each their own I suppose.

This article contradicts a long ago previous Mercola.com article. The part I remember is the military did a study to find that cold environments do not create higher incidences of colds. Further, my thought is living healthily has your immune system working well to destroy a virus so quickly that it never becomes a cold. My personal experience is I have not had a cold nor flu for thirty-five years and I ride my bicycle and go ice fishing in Utah winters and sleep outside. I even fell through the ice once, continued ice fishing not caring about being briefly cold and without getting a cold and feeling great. My observation is colds and flu are spread to mostly all employees except me where I work when someone gets it regardless of anyone being out in the cold or not. I suspect susceptibly to colds have more to do with a person's state of health than getting cold or not.

I'm surprised Dr Mercola put this nonsense article on his site.

This comes across as another attempt to shield themselves from all the COVID lies The evil perpetrated upon everyone is now being exposed so they are even resorting to nonsense articles. So glad I’m not the only one who comprehended the way this was written made no sense.

This is a poorly written article and seems to contradict the mangled headline.

I appreciate the information. But I question why link to Forbes and not the Journal the study was published in? $$$ incentive?

The dilemma of those obsessed with scientific proof: This principle works in practice, but I'm afraid it will not work in theory?! Many facts that we know from everyday life are considered untrue because not proven scientifically. Also, there is no double-blinded study which proves that parachute when jumping from a plane saves a life. The same fact is with Catching a Cold From Being Cold www.neurosurgery0pain.ng

5 degree Celsius drop reduces virus fighting ability of the nose by almost 50%.

This article is a word salad. It is not clear what point they are making.

I didn’t understand where being cold can leave you susceptible to catching a cold in the article.
