Almost all my coworkers feel the need to comment that I’m still wearing shorts past-Halloween. Yeah, even if it’s cold outside it gets stuffy and hot in this damn warehouse! I can tolerate the cold between my car and the front door better than I can tolerate getting sweaty in here!
I’ve always ran a little hot and have tended to be more comfortable in cooler weather, but I will often get random strangers coming up to me and being like “OH MY GOD SIR ARE YOU NOT FREEZING RIGHT NOW! YOU ARE WEARING BUT A T-SHIRT AND GYM SHORTS AND IT’S BELLOW 60!” No, I’m fine, I just don’t mind the cold much.
10·18 days ago- Cold temperatures = dry air = dry mucous membranes = higher susceptibility to respiratory infections
- Cold temperatures = people congregating inside with less ventilation = much more exposure
- There is something to be said for needing to expend a lot of extra energy maintaining body temperature causing some immune impairment, but it’s more from like falling in a frozen lake than being exposed to brisk weather for twenty minutes.
