Ask HN: Is walking in the rain bad for your health?

5 pointsby TicklishTigerabout 6 years ago
This is a type of question, I wish the internet could answer. But it does not.<p>Everytime I walk in the rain (with a coat, so I don&#x27;t get much wet) I am afraid that I will get sick.<p>Is there something to this?

Actually &quot;the internet&quot; can answer:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en_asia&#x2F;article&#x2F;ne3nym&#x2F;we-asked-an-expert-if-the-rain-can-really-make-you-sick" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en_asia&#x2F;article&#x2F;ne3nym&#x2F;we-asked-an-expe...</a><p>&gt;But really, rain isn&#x27;t the reason anyone gets sick. A weak immune system is.<p>&gt;&quot;Cold temperatures weaken the immune system,&quot; Mahesa told VICE. &quot;Plus, rainwater hits the ground and elevates bacteria and viruses from the ground up into the air. So people will be exposed to them during rain which might cause them to fall ill.&quot;

When it rains I think the air quality improves so you breathe in a humid and clean air instead of a dry dirty air.
