Answers:
No the wives tales aren't true.
You can't get them by being cold, you can't get them from wet hair, cold water or anything like that.
You get a cold by a virus or bacteria, usually passed on by other people!
I assume you have a cold, so get well soon love!

The cold is a virus which infects the mucous membrane of the nose.
The infection is spread by airborne droplets when the sufferer coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread by hand if someone has the virus on their hands and then puts them close to their eyes or nose. This is possibly the most common way of catching a cold.

A cold is caught by getting the virus.

Oh, ok. You get a cold from airborne droplets (either from coughing, sneezing etc.) and its a virus so you cannot treat it with medication.

From what i remember...
The virus enters your body, attaches itself to a cell, divides, and repeats that over and over. Thats how it gets worse.
