Does washing dishes with cold water cause arthritis?

No: If you have arthritis, the cold may make your joints feel stiffer and more painful, but cold water does not cause arthritis.

No, but increases Sx: Not per se, but if you have mild arthritis, cold water can make your hands feel stiffer, which will increase sx.
