It is believed that wet feet can cause the development of flu and colds.
But many also understand that the cause is not moisture, but cold, which intensifies upon contact with wet snow or a puddle.
But is it really harmful to walk around with wet feet?
We propose to look into this issue in more detail.
Why are wet feet dangerous?
Cold weakens the protective barriers of the mucous membranes, which slows down blood circulation.
This means that white blood cells reach the site of infection more slowly and pathogens have more time to multiply.
But that's not all, because if you walk around with wet feet for a long time, a fungal infection can develop, since a damp environment is ideal for fungi to grow.
Therefore, if your feet get wet, it is recommended to change your shoes and warm up well.
