"Cold" as a misnomer
Originally, the term "cold" may have referred to a "cold condition" such as the hot, cold, dry, and wet "conditions" described by
the ancient Anatolian physician Galen, but the climate is only an enabler and not the cause. Colds are somewhat more common in
winter, and cold climate may affect transmission by causing people to stay indoors where ventilation is reduced and proximity to
infected persons is increased, but the cause of the infection remains viral. Some allergies, bacterial respiratory infections, and
even climate changes can also cause common-cold-like symptoms that can last for days.

Infection with a cold virus affects thermogenesis. This makes people associate post-infection shivering with situations in which
they were exposed to cold that intensifies shivering (e.g. wet hair, draft, long wait on a bus stop, etc.). This association helps
propagate the myth.

If cold weather were directly linked to the spread of the common cold, then it could possibly be demonstrated by comparing the
infection rates of people who live in colder climates (such as Iceland or Greenland) with people who live in warmer climates (such
as countries close to the equator). Studies done in the 1960s found no significant increase in infection rates in people who live in
colder climates.[22]

It is not known conclusively whether cold weather or a humid climate can affect transmission by other means, such as by affecting
the immune system, or ICAM-1 receptor concentration, or simply increasing the amount and frequency of nasal secretions and frequency
of hand to face contact. A person can best avoid colds by avoiding those who are ill and the objects that they touch, as well as by
keeping their immune system in top form by getting enough sleep, reducing stress, eating nutritious foods, and avoiding excess
alcohol consumption.

In a widely-publicized and yet seriously flawed experiment, researchers at the Common Cold Centre at the Cardiff University
attempted to demonstrate that cold temperatures can lead to a greater susceptibility to viral infection.[23] They showed that a
small group of people who sat with their feet in cold water for 20 minutes a day for a week had a 1 in 3 chance of developing cold
symptoms during that week, while a control group who were not exposed to the chill had a 1 in 10 chance (this probability
corresponds with the implausible 1 in 239 chance of surviving a year without catching a cold). According to Dr. Ronald Turner the
study is seriously flawed because the researchers used symptom questionnaires instead of actual infection detection and failed to
check whether the participants were already infected or not. Multiple other studies have failed to find a link between low
temperatures and infection.[24]

Many languages reflect the unfounded belief that exposure to cold increases the risk of catching a cold virus:
