Do people in warm climates ( 70+ ) suffer from the common cold?

Anyone who is exposed to a cold or flu virus can get it - regardless of the temperature.

When I was about 10 or so, I was making french toast at my grandma's house unsupervised. I put way too much oil in the pan, and when I lifted the bread to switch sides, it dropped off and splashed hot oil all over me.
Her solution: Rub butter on it. Screamed like a mofo.

It's always during the under 60 temps.

WebMD.com is your friend. Learn about cold and flu viruses.

The most closely related scientific inquiry actually offers hope for another natural substance. In 2004, the publishers of the New Zealand Ministry of Health’s Complementary and Alternative Medicine website evaluated six cases in India in which honey was used as a primary dressing for burn wounds. The publishers concluded that superficial and deeper (so-called partial thickness ) burns treated with honey dressings healed faster and were less likely to become infected than similar burns treated more conventionally. They also reported no side effects. It is important to note that this report described a very small study, and that the healing properties of butter and honey cannot be reliably compared.

But now, do you have a link to this study? Was it raw honey? Because I imagine what's in processed honey we eat wouldn't be that great for a burn...
But again, milk has always worked for me&its right there in the fridge.. :shrug:
