Is a cold a sickness

Answer 1

No matter how you look at it, the temperature of your environment doesn't cause sickness. However, it can weaken your body's immune system and make you more susceptible to sickness. So, for instance, a child plays in the rain with some friends and catches a cold. His mother would be wrong to blame it on the rain - it is more likely that one of his friends recently had a cold and passed it on to her otherwise healthy son while they were playing and his immunity to colds was weakened by playing in the rain. Of course, there always exceptions. Heat strokes and hypothermia can cause extreme exhaustion or, when not immediately treated, death. In extreme situations where one is endangered by heat or cold, one's body will slowly cease functioning. If someone is 'rescued' as their body is starting to shut down, it could be said that they are "sick" but in reality, it is that they were on their way to death.

Of course it is!
