      See, the problem is that science tells us you don’t, but living in a cold climate tells the opposite story. Being very cold usually results in getting sick.

      My theory is the in the winter, viruses are pretty much always present and getting very cold for a while weakens the immune system.

        Exactly that. Happened to me this summer. It was really cold the whole summer and I was outside one day underdressed for a couple hours and I was freezing. Got sick a day later and was out of it for 3 days with all the symptoms of a cold. I had not been sick for a couple years like that. To me at least that was definitive proof you can get sick by being too cold and weakening your immune system.

        It’s a combination of having to spend more energy staying warm and germs being able to spread quickly because you stay indoors with the windows closed a lot
