Is it fine to be soaking wet from the rain?

Question

I am not sure if it is a misnomer about getting wet under the rain will make a person sick. When I was a young kid, my parents allow me to get wet in the rain. My siblings and I usually play in the yard while it is raining. It was a fun time during my childhood years.

Is it really bad for our health?

I think it is not a good idea to stay under the sun during the summer season. As you had mentioned about diseases, it can be acquired. The worst thing is to be inflicted with skin carcinoma.

Answer 4

Some say that you can catch cold when you get rain soaked. But it just seems to be a myth as there is no clear explanation to it. We know colds are caused by viruses. You get it when you are exposed to the viruses regardless of the weather. I think playing in the rain is fine for kids. As long as the children are healthy, I don't think there'll be problem at all. Soaking in the rain exposes them to nature and to the thrill and excitement of outdoor experience. But as in anything, don't over do it too. Its also better to take caution, prolonged exposure to cold weather can also have negative impact on the body.

Answer 5

Yes, it's just fine. Getting chilly or wet from rain doesn't cause you to get sick. But there are things that make you prone to come down with a cold. For example, you're more likely to catch one if you're extremly tired, under emotional distress, or have allergies with nose and throat symptoms.

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that wet weather can cause health problems. However, there is some research that suggests that wet weather can lead to an increase in fever, Swine's disease, and even death.

Answer 12

Being soaking wet from the rain is generally not harmful, but it can increase the risk of hypothermia and make you more susceptible to illnesses. It's best to dry off as soon as possible.
