Lia Svilans  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi

A while ago on the show you spoke about the fallacy of the cold giving you a cold, how people believed that the sickness is caused by the temperature.

Why is it then that more people seem to get cold-related colds when the weather is cold or the air-conditioning is too high or they go about without enough clothes on?

Thanks

What do you think?

the air conditioner probably aids in transferring the bugs.
