The most important garment in the wintertime is a cap

MYTH

This myth can be broken up into two more detailed myths. The first one says that most of the human body heat escapes through the head and another tells us that we can easly catch a cold in a frosty air.
First of all, the same amount of air escapes through the head as through any else part of our body. If this myth was true, we could run in the winter clothed in caps and short sleeves, and we would not feel cold. Furthermore, the cold is brought on by viruses which can be found both in the warm and cold air. There is even the theory saying that people more often are ill in winter, since they remain in closed buildings and infect one another. Thus, when spending time in the cool air, we have to beware of exosure rather than viruses!
