Imagine your body is like a house with windows. In the winter, those windows are closed tight, so people stay inside more, and that means they're closer to each other. When someone sneezes or coughs near you, their germs go right into your nose or mouth easily. Plus, cold air can make it easier for viruses to hang around longer in your body.
Examples
- When you stay inside with your family during winter, it's easier to catch a cold from them.
- Your body might feel weaker when the temperature drops, making it easier for viruses to get through.
