Sure, give yourself a cold or something (or worse)
Unless the bucket you're pouring over yourself contains nasal secretions of people who already have a cold virus, you are not going to give yourself a cold by doing this.
(going out in cold weather, contact with cold water, etc. have no bearing on the likelihood of becoming infected with rhinovirus or coronavirus, which are the primary viruses which cause the common cold -- there may be increased risk of transmission from going out in dry weather, actually)
- hmottestad 12y agoI remember reading an article (quote needed) about how the blood supply to the membrane in your nose gets reduced and thus makes it more likely that you will catch a cold from someone. So essentially. Going out in cold weather is fine. Going out in cold weather and then ending up at a bar with people who have colds already. Not such a good idea.
