A member asked:
Is it possible to get sick (cold, diarrhea etc.) just by being in cold environment or germs are always the main reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A cold environment by itself will not cause sickness, only bacteria, viruses, etc. cause illness. But, your immune system can be affected by being exposure to extreme temperatures and this can then lead to illness, if then exposed to a microorganism when the immune system is down. Good luck!
