Getting chilly can bring on a cold, British scientists said on Monday, overturning medical orthodoxy that says there is no connection between developing the viral infection and a drop in body temperature.Researchers at Cardiff University’s Common Cold Center paid 90 students to sit for 20 minutes with their bare feet in buckets of cold water.A few days later the study found that 13 of the students reported cold symptoms, such as a runny nose or sore throat, compared to five in a control group of 90 students who kept their feet dry in socks and shoes.
