Hi: Actually; The Magnetic Activity is a very real thing in Moscow (does not compare with the sitting on cold surfaces, that would only bother you over an extended time period - like Hypothemia). The draft could get you (Stiff Neck or Cold), but the Cold Drink would not (Russians don't usually have ice in their drinks anyway).
You, yourself might not feel anything, I take Vitamins, extra B12, Calcium, and lots of Vit C plus some Iron supplements, so my body systems would maybe be affected more than yours. Everyone is a little different. Moscow has many very large IRON deposits around the city; these deposits tend to increase any solar type influence. You can do a simple test. During the Next Magnetic Storm get yourself some very fine iron filings, then put them into the white cover of a shoe/boot box - during the storm, they will line up with the flux lines in the city.

I've read some research on this sent from someone else on the list. Thanks! I'm just curious where legend mixes with medical fact. In Russia I've heard the same about sitting on a cold surface (bench, steps, etc.) causing sterility. Also, that a cold drink or slight draft will bring you to the brink of death. South Koreans have a similar fear of drafts/fans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 3:39 PM, Geoff Miller <[email protected]> wrote: Nothing that a little malina in my tea wouldn't fix :-) On 2 Mar 2010 11:37, "Milchin" <[email protected]> wrote: Over the years I've heard from Russian colleagues/friends that they occasionally get headaches from magnetic storms (magnitniy buryi) yet I can't find much about it online...
