Is ‘catching a cold’ the same as giving yourself one from being outside?

759 views

The other night i was out in the rain and cold for a few hours and got home and started to feel ill – i woke up the next morning with all the regular cold-type symptoms and have felt under the weather for a few days now. It made me think – is this the same as ‘catching a cold’ from someone else and would i be able to pass this ‘illness’ on, or is it something different with similar symptoms?

I’ve always been told if you get sick from being out in the cold, that you were probably sick to begin with. Your immune system can be lowered in those conditions making it easier for it to develop into a cold. Someone answer this like I’m 5 because now im also curious
