Not that I want to contradict your experience, it is actually very common. But I would truly be interested in knowing the causality relationship between having the feet wet and cold and having a "common cold", that is an infection of the nose/sinuses/throat/lungs.
- lultimouomo 6y agoIt has been suggested that cold reduces flow in the nasal blood vessels and this hinders immune response, giving the virus a foothold for infecting the organism. I read a study about a bunch of people being left with their feet in a pool of cold water and it showed an increased infection rate vs the control group, but I don't remember how significant and I cannot find it anymore.
