Question:

If you just took a really warm shower and walk outside in the cold..is that bad for you?


Answers:

actually, mild hypothermia hampers your body's ability to defend itself against common airborn pathogens. Simply spending too much time in cold weather makes you much more vulnerable to bacteria, and when you are wet you lose heat much faster due to evaporation and conduction. As your body releases heat, your white blood cells become much less effective. So while it doesn't actually make you sick, this can weaken your body's defense systems and make it easier for you to get sick.
