I just thought id point out that cold air can weaken the immune system making you susceptible to a infection and blade is dumb.

Please don't be disrespectful. To my knowledge, cold air doesn't make a person more vulnerable to catching a cold and the myth that one requires a weakened immune system to catch the cold is just that, a myth.

cold air doesnt give a cold ??? BLGRHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
use common sense, if you go out into the cold for a few hours without keepin ureself warm, you will catch a cold, thats why its called a common cold, bcoz we get it when we get too cold....

The cold and flu are mainly caused by viruses, not the weather. Studies have been conducted as far as the 1950s about this, and time and time again it has been proven that exposing subjects to cold(leaving them in cold temperatures while putting their feet in chilling water etc) did not become more susceptible to infection with the cold viruses. This also didn't make the cold any worse. The myth that the cold weather causes the common cold is because generally more people become sick with it in the winter. The real reason for this has to do with the fact that in winter people tend to stay indoors more, take showers less frequently, and stay around crowded areas. Whereas in the summer everyone is going out, opening their windows, switching on fans, washing themselves more etc. So the air is always being circulated, things are always more open and less crowded. This decreases the risk of getting an infection.
Many people will say 'oh I got the cold because I was out in the cold air for some time the other day, that must be it!'. This is called 'recall bias', where people recall certain events better when they connect it to something else. For instance if I say most people get cold in winter, and that the chilly air probably has something to do with getting a cold, you might say 'oh wait you're right! the other time I went out without enough clothes and a few days later i caught a cold!', but you will forget all the OTHER times you went out in the cold and came back perfectly fine. Recall bias is also frequently exploited by fake pyschics, thats how I first came across this term. BTW you also might get a runny nose if you go out in the cold wind, thats natural and a major reason why the weather is attributed to getting a cold.
This is all basic biology I learned about two years ago in high school. If you're still in high school and taking biology, pay more attention during the chapter on viruses, or just ask your teacher if you want to confirm this. It's good information espically since the common cold, is well, so common. In fact I was just sick a few days ago, LoL.
