This is actually a myth. Being cold and/or wet will not give you a cold or flu or anything else - except possibly pneumonia, which requires you to be quite cold and quite wet for a while. The reason colds and flus are more common when it's cold is that, being cold, people spend less time outside and more time in closed quarters with other people - therefore there are lots more opportunities to catch things from them. I don't want to sound pompous, but this is just true (it's been written about in medical journals for years now) so let's not get into an argument about it. np:Beach Boys, "Wild Honey" -- ...extensive liner notes and make-believe alien languages...
