We’ve all heard things that were passed down to us about getting sick during the winter. Here’s four things, according to our friends over at Baycare, that just aren’t true.
1 - Myth #1: Cold weather causes the sniffles
The truth: It’s not the cold itself—it’s the conditions that come with it.
2 - Myth #2: Going outside with wet hair will make you sick
The truth: It may make you cold, but it won’t cause an infection.
3 - Myth #3: You don’t need sunscreen in winter
The truth: Sunscreen is a year-round essential—especially in Florida.
4 - Myth #4: Cranking up the heat helps prevent illness
The truth: A warm home is cozy—but not a cure.
