Standing In Rain, Does You Do It?

Getting sick in the rain is an old wives tale.
Old wives tale. It's actually our hyper clean society that's making everyone sick. I'm becoming more indestructible every single time I go out and bash around in rain and mud. Still, your concern is noted.
I make turkey soup and then throw it away because chicken soup is obviously superior.
Don't you dare defile my very serious and yet terribly playful and keen thread with your ugly, stupid bird. Get it out of here. I expect you to remove all images of those wretched birds or I will report them to a moderator for triggering me. I also want to mention this is why your mother doesn't love you.

What does getting sick have to do with rain?
i like sitting in the rain when im depressed, so I can get really soaked and miserable
I also enjoy that. I want everyone to also know I'm miserable and that seems like basically the fastest sign besides painting nails black.
Misty, family got me into turkeys.dd300:
It was your father, don't lie. Your mum just cannot figure out how to abort at this late date.

Wouldn't it make sense that the soak clothes from the rain, couple with the fact that sometimes the temperature will be lower when it rains will make it a little easier for somebody to get sick?
It would have to be really really cold for your body to be unable to fight off bacteria

Well it would be a teensy bit easier then if it was like room tempature, but you'd be more likely to get sick going out on a cold day or such, I'd say.
If your dad ever needs a cult movement, I hope you'll give him my skype. I'm happy to tell him about his Lord and Savior, thanksgiving.

Not quite. Overall, it's very possible to catch an actual cold from getting cold after being wet. Because common cold viruses are seasonal, it really just depends on a few factors. The stress on your body to regulate temperature can lower immune support in some cases, which may be enough to get sick. Overall you're more likely get a head cold which can last for a couple hours after you've gotten cold. It's not an actual illness, just a reaction your body has to exposure.
As far as the question, I like rain, but not being rained on. Rain in Florida is either a deluge like in the summer, or it's cold and drizzly. There's no real in between, so it's not enjoyable.
