no but you can catch a cold if you go from really hot to being really cold...specially when you're sweating...I know, it happened to me 3 months ago....

Drank some hot tea one day, went out shoveling....and WAM! next day I was shivering....all cold and sweating at the same time.
You catch a cold from a virus.

You caught it around the same time you went from hot to cold. But it's a coincidence. Changes in temperature do not cause you to get viruses. People tend to get sick more in the winter because they tend to spend more time inside with other people than in the summer.

I said she used to beat me with a rubber hose - I didn't say she stopped beating me - just no more hose is all...

x2 that is correct, the only major thing you can get from being out in the cold is pneumonia
