I arrived home last night wet and freezing. I came from the office and rain falls while I was driving my motorcycle. It was really cold. I asked my wife for a cup of hot coffee to relieve myself. How about you, how do you relieve yourself if you feel cold, like when you got wet in the heavy rains? KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Hi neildc, When I was a kid, I remember my Parents will asked us to take a bath or drink a lot of water! It works really and if we fail to do so after getting wet from the rain, we will get some cold and cough..I do know if it has medical explanation..LOL! Anyway, a cup of hot coffee will work too but next time try to drink plenty of water! Hope you feel better now!

First and foremost I have to drink a glass of water. I am usually advice to drink a glass of water if soaked win the rain. And then proceed for a bath.

I shower first when I got wet with the rain, I will apply body oil all over, then go for hot steamy soup ( chicken, Corn or crab would be best ) then I will cuddle in my bed with my big soft teddy and cover myself with a warm blanket while watching TV. That way, every part of myself felt relax, relieved and absolutely stress free.

We lose 50% of our body heat through our head so the best way to warm up is to keep your head warm! Wear a hat or cover it up with a blanket. Then, the cup of hot coffee will warm you up even faster, although I personally prefer hot chocolate. When I'm just a little cold, I will keep my feet, hands and head covered up. That seems to warm up my whole body.

That is what I also do. Sometimes I also make soups and if I still feel cold I use a blanket to wrap it around my body. ANyways, I really have low tolerance on cold days.

First of all, I will take a shower when I got wet in the rain. Then I'll have a bowl of hot soup or a cup of hot coffee or tea.

Well, here in my place cold is ussual because all the time here is Cold. I can just feel freezing when i have my bath and going out early in the morning. Like when i'm going to the office early in 6:30 because i just walk and my jaw is really freezing and when i arrive at the office i'll be having a cup of hot chocolate,because coffee is not advisable for me....
