Also, burning wood in a fireplace is very bad for your lungs and respiratory system and can make you more susceptible to infections.
Get outside and you probably won't catch anything. Norwegians let their babies nap in sub-zero temperatures and they're fine!

I'm not convinced that's the case these days. The average city-dweller stays indoors with other people for most of the day, year round.
