How many times did you hear your mother tell you, "Put on a jacket or you're going to catch a cold!" or "Come in out of the rain before you catch cold!"
It's also a fairly common trope in Jane Austen-esque type movies that someone will be out in the rain and succumb to a high fever as a direct result to the chill.
Is there any truth to being cold directly correlating to fever or general illness?
