most helpful answer no. colds and influenza are caused by viruses not temperature changes. viruses enter the body through the nose eyes or mouth. not through the skin. you can run outside naked if you want and you will not be any more vulnerable to getting a cold or the flu. it is okay if your grandmother or mother disagrees with this statement. hi ok i think i see what you mean no he's right you cant get a cold by being cold or working outside without extra clothing and the same for flu. there both virus's and can only be passed on from somebody else. working outside in fresh air is very good for you. do hope this helps you. good luck
can you take a cold or flu going out into cold weather with out a coat or protection? . my husband refuses to wear a coat out in cold weather. he will come in says he is freezing but will go back out without a coat. i tell him he is gonna take a cold or the flu but he says no you wont take a cold or flu just from going out without a coat. whats the truth?
