Can you get sick from being in the rain?

[You]

For me, it's a common myth, simply being out in the rain does not directly cause someone to get sick. Illnesses like colds and flu are caused by viruses, not exposure to water.

What you think?

I can comfortably being on the rainy and nothing happens with regards to my healthy.

 

[Springtime]

I will not get sick because of the rain. But in summer, it my body gets all wet and I need to enter into an air-conditioned room, I may catch a cold.

I think we can still get sick and soaked with water for a long time.

You said it right. Most old folks believe in this matter. They sometimes asked us to take a bath right away after being soaked with rainwater.

We all have different body system, for some they might fall sick, then there are others who might not.

This used to happen to me when I was younger but no more now. As an adult, I enter the rain without falling sick.

I have always had a weak immune system, so getting soaked in the rain often leads to me catching a cold. This has been the case for me since I was a child.

I always enjoy going out in rain so don't believe that one gets ill because of it.

I do get sick if I get drenched by TV rain. That's why I am always indoors when it rains.

At my age, it is not advisable to walk under the rain and be drenched by it. It will surely makes me get sick.

For me l would constantly prohibit my children from playing on the rain for the fear of them getting sick.
