Just going out in the cold won't cause you to get sick. Pneumonia comes from a bacterial or viral infection, not the temperature. The cold temperature can just make you very slightly more susceptible to infection. Sometimes people mistakenly think they got sick from being outside, when really the cold, dry air just stimulated their mucus membranes, giving them a temporary cough and runny nose.
The only reason to worry about it would be if you already had a bad bout of bronchitis and then went out in the cold for long enough to really drop your body temperature, as it could possibly help the infection move into your lungs. If you weren't sick to begin with, you definitely have nothing to worry about.
you will not get pneumonia unless your immune system is weak, or you are exposed to certain viruses or bacteria.
The extreme cold may stress your body, but cold weather does not cause pneumonia.
Hypothermia maybe, pneumonia not likely.
you will not catch a cold from being cold... true, your immune system is lowered when you're chilled, but it's also very difficult to catch a virus when it's that cold because viruses can't really thrive in those temperatures.
also, pneumonia is an airborne droplet disease. unless you were sharing a drink or kissing or giving mouth-to-mouth to someone in that cold, i wouldn't worry too much.
bundle up!
what r u thinking going out in the cold like that? [sorry. iwas just felt like being mean]. but that'll killu slowly. i have a friend who did that several times & ended up getting pneumonia after 5 yrs of exposing himself freely to the cold.
its not good. it might not feel cold at that time coz ur body's adjusting to it, thinking that u actually don't have sumthin better to wear, but it might decide to teach u a lesson one day & let u become sick for a while so u learn from it. or even just give up completely & get PNEUMONIA!!!
yea. if its too cold. dress warm. if its not. theni guess u can slack-off a lil bit.
The Pneumonia Rap:
So you wandered out into the icy 'hood,
with just a sweatshirt, hat, and jeans,
and now you're breakin' into a sweat,
because you think you altered your genes,
by getting all sick, and you know that ain't good,
so you better turn around and take it down,
and tell your parents,
who you shoulda listened to in the first place,
'cause now you're gonna frown,
over the fact that you might have to make arrangements,
to drive over to the doctor or get into an ambulance,
so you better warm that booty,
next to a fireplace with a bowl of hot soup,
or you're gonna end up in bed knocked out for a loop,
feeling sweaty and makin' random doody!
PNEUMONIA!
PEACE OUT!
