Cold fighting

If I were to wear shorts and a short sleeve T-shirt and stand outside in reasonably cool weather for a year (or more), would my body slowly be abel to fully compensate for the cold weather, and thereby I would not feel cold at all afterwards under the same conditions?

Do Hand Sanitizers Actually Reduce the Spread of Colds and Flu?

Hand sanitizers have become very common in offices and public places since the swine flu pandemic of 2009-10.  Is there any epidemiological or other evidence that sanitizers have actually reduced the spread of colds and flu?

The big chill

Since my retirement I often succumb to an afternoon nap on the nearest couch. I am perfectly comfortable when I drift off and the temperature in my house is thermostatically controlled, yet I frequently wake up with a bone-deep chill. In the interest of helping baby boomers enjoy their future retirement, what is going on?

Split times

Why does cold weather dry my skin out? Generally things dry out more slowly the colder it is, yet as soon as winter arrives my hands become so dry the skin splits.
