ANSWER:You can get problems from exposure to the elements with hypothermia from being cold and wet enough. Infectious Diseases occur from the transfer of bacterium, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, not from the weather. Mom wasn't always right about that (forgive me, mom), people made connections between winter/cold weather/chills etc by coincidence and anecdotal evidence, not by the results of double blind scientific studies (which have proven the opposite).
