∙ 12y agoYou can get sick from exposure to weather without shelter, but it won't be from an infection, it will be due to tissue damage, frostbite, etc. Hypothermia is another way you can become sick from the cold, that is when your core body temperature gets too low and your circulation and other body functions slow to below the needed levels to sustain health.
You cannot get sick with a cold or other infectious disease from being out in the cold. You can only get colds from a virus.

∙ 12y agoMost defiantly not! When you have a cold stay as warm as possible! Colds live in cold climates so the cold air makes it worse! That's why people get fevers. You get fevers Because your body knows that colds live in the cold! So it heats up to make the cold not like you body as a host. Its also bad to be in cold air wile your sick because its spending all its energy on trying to ceep warm. So please don`t go out in the cold wile you sick!

∙ 12y agoColder weather makes you sick because it weakens your immune system. It does this because your body is using a certain amount of energy to keep you warm, and your immune system has less energy to support the immune system. When the immune system weakens it is more susceptible to foreign viruses, bacteria, etc, because of the cold weather and being in close quarters with sick people.

∙ 11y agoIf people do not keep themselves sufficiently warm during periods of cold weather, they may suffer from such illnesses as hypothermia and frostbite. If people do keep themselves warm, then cold weather should not in itself cause illness. However, it is quite common for outbreaks of influenza to occur during the colder months.
