can you catch a cold from being in the cold
You don't catch colds from being cold (or wet), you catch them when you comeinto contact with a virus, and it manages to get past your immune system. If you went out in the rain, and someone with the flu sneezed on you, then you would probably catch the flu, but not because of the rain.Mike T Â· 8 years ago.est Answer: No, no, no. A cold is a virus and can only be caught by coming into contact with that virus. Going out in the cold may reduce your resistance to germs temporarily but will not give you a cold itself.
