There is an important caveat to note. While gallivanting around town with wet hair won’t cause a healthy person to get a nasty cold, it might make an individual an easier target for cold and flu viruses. Britain’s Common Cold Centre based at Cardiff University published a study in 2005 that found that people who had their feet chilled in cold water for 20 minutes were more likely to get a cold in the days that followed than a control group. The researchers hypothesize that plunging the body’s surface temperature causes blood vessels in the nose to constrict, allowing an already-present cold virus to flourish and turn into a full-blown sickness. However, the science on the topic remains unclear. So you don’t have to develop a deeper relationship with your hairdryer this winter. But you should become a diligent hand-washer and get your flu shot. I believe that second hand smoke makes cold and any illness worse. I believe that it is far worse to smoke around a child then it is to have them go out with wet hair. It isnt the wet hair that makes you sick, it is a germ. Any time you hurt the lungs of a little one makes them more likely to get sick. Instead of fussing that a child has wet hair why dont you stop the assault of their lungs by not smoking around them.
