Can you get a cold from being in cold weather? Doctors have rolled their eyes and said “No” for years. Only germs cause colds. But a new study from the University of Cardiff shows that it’s possible to catch a cold from cold weather. The school hires students on campus and pays students to get sick. They expose them to cold weather, to germs and to certain remedies to figure out what is causing the cold and what cures it. So, what causes colds most often? Children! If you have kids, you are more likely to get sick than people who don’t. So, apparently Mom knows best!
