[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here with an update. Coincidentally after we went outside that day i got really sick. It's been horrible and ive had flu like symtpoms for days that are just now starting to subside. I don't know if there is a correlation or not but I wont be doing it again.

for full disclosure I went outside when I was younger right after a shower and ended up with walking pneumonia.

Generally I am not a sick person and only catch a head cold once every couple of years.

This is just two too many coincidences for my taste.[/quote]

OP I am with you from personal experience, though not with pores on the skin. I am going to share my experiences even though I am sure I will get flamed and laughed at.

If I wash my hair and sleep with wet hair, I get fluid in my ears and get an infection. Just got this earlier this week.
If I drink anything ice cold or even once a water melon, I get a throat infection. This happened when I am already tired and weak or sleepless.

[b]Now possible I already had dormant germs which got revived in a colder operating temperature for them and my lower body immunity conditions. I was born and raised in much warmer temperatures, so that might have something to do with this as well.

We need to remember we *always* have germs in our body. What I am trying to say is in addition to germs, the environment and body conditions do play a role as well in getting them activated and making us sick. And I think this trigger varies by person.[/b]

Flame away! [/quote] +1 I completely agree with this. [/quote]

Agreed. I suspect we always have bacteria in our bodies but sometimes we can fight them off and sometimes we can't. It's different for everyone. New studies show the dry cold air can help some bacteria breed. Obviously not in everyone, but in some people.  Different people react differently to triggers. [/quote]

This is sometimes true for Group A Strep (which causes strep throat).  It can lie dormant in nose/throat, and cause an infection when one's immunity is weakened.  However, MOST infections (the type we're speaking of) in the US are not bacterial, but viral.  Most bacteria in our bodies are there for good reason.[/quote]
