Is it really the case that taking your shower late at night can cause pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never heard that: I have never heard of this as a cause for pneumonia. If you live in a very cold environment and go to bed with wet hair - it could reduce body temperature through continued head heat loss. But that does not mean that it would cause you to develop pneumonia.
