| Dodece said: What you are suffering from is one of the human bodies many defense responses to temperature change. You got cold so your body removed water from your blood to help maintain your core body temperature. This has also caused some dehydration which is why you have a headache. Getting warm was a good idea, but you did it in water so your hot, and you have no way to perspire, and even less water to do it with. Getting cold can cause you to get sick, because it undermines your body as a whole. Though taking massive doses of vitamin C will not help. Recalling my health classes that is a water soluble vitamin, and not a fat soluble vitamin. So you cannot get more then a hundred percent of your daily dose. Further more a immune system can only respond to a virus after the infection. It must first develop antibodies to fight the infection. That all said what you need to do is drink some water, and stay cool. Your problem isn't that you are getting sick. Your problem is that you are overheated and dehydrated. |
Thanks! I'll do that now!
It's really cool you can get all that from my brief explanation (me going through the rain, getting cold, taking a hot bath, etc)
