However, they do say that very cold weather (sound familiar?) can stress the body and lower your immune system. And they also say that certain viruses thrive outside, but that doesn't mean just because you ran out without a jacket or without drying your hair that you're going to be bedridden.

And once again, they push you to wash your hands a lot.
