I have never heard of anything like this.

Unless you took a steam bath in a sauna, your pores should be just fine to go outside OP.

That's why you should take the time to dry off and put on some clothes before you go outside. You should never go outside immediately after a bath/shower no matter what the water temp was or what the air temp is. Clothes first, as another PP pointed out.

I struggled with our south American nanny about this. She would bundle the baby up in the dead of summer. I work from home and had to demand he only be in a onesie. She was convinced i was killing him. She was sincerely distraught and worried. Visibly disturbed That i would not bundle him in August.I'm convinced that when she took him out of the house she smuggled hats and sweaters out with her and wrapped my poor sweaty baby up.. I'm sure she prayed the rosemary each night for him. I'm sure she thinks its a miracle he has made it 4 years without dying of pneumonia.


And you kept her? That is NOT someone you should have employed as a nanny. OMG.

I know it's a typo but I like the visual of praying the rosemary.

Changing someone's mind about this is like telling them evolution is the truth

You are misinformed. 17 minutes at the very least.

Life was so simple before DCUM. Who knew there were all these things to worry about. Someone needs to do a manual.

Yes! Good call, I'm glad someone said something. I can't wait until she comes back to enlighten us. I bet her pores do the open and close because of the psoriasis!
