Question: Why is it that you are at more risk of getting the flu when you are outside with your hairwet!?
Answers:
The only way you can get the flu is to be exposed to the flu (and the same goes for all bacterial and viral illnesses)!. It definitely is an old wives tale that you catch the flu/pneumonia/your death if you go out in the cold with wet hair, although take into consideration that it not keep your immune system functioning optimally, which would then decrease your body's ability to fight off illness if you were exposed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, well that is an old wives' tale as said before!. However, you lose most of your body heat through your head!. So, when you're hair is wet, you can lose that body heat at a faster rate when outside!. If your body is taxing itself in order to keep your body temperature up, then you could be at risk to infection!. However, there must by viruses/germs around to infect you in order for you to get sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
