Perhaps, it's a temperature thing, the way your body reacts to temperature changes on the skin.
Now that I've thought about it, I too can get sick if I get rained on. But, it only happens if the rain is literally the coldest it can get without freezing, between 0C and 1C. I don't always get sick. But, if it's the end of the working day and I'm already fatigued/famished, I'm more susceptible to getting sick. It happened the most during autumn back in New York State, just before the snow started. It's also in New York where I saw snow transition into rain and vice versa with a mere 100 ft change in elevation.
Related to the above is when there is a light rain, the skin pores are still open and the first rain drops are carrying airborne germs. Crowds are a cesspool of germs. Here, it's the schools and campuses. There? Practically, the whole Metro area.
I never got sick once the snow started. The air was always so clean and sterile although quite frigid.

I liked cold showers. It woke me up in a hurry. Also, cold showers in the afternoon weren't that cold. The daytime heating warmed up the tap water.
The only thing I hated about cold showers are the surroundings. The moist environment seemed to attract big hunting spiders. At my aunts' bathrooms, there's always one hiding behind the water drums.
Yup. I remember that well, because my parents would always fight about it. My Dad insists on taking cold baths and his doctor specifically told him not to take cold baths. Tigas uloHis doctor is well respected, and I suppose he knows what he is saying.

Why is there a water drum in the bathroom?
Food for thought maam

Sometimes, there was no water coming through the tap. My relatives stocked up on as much water as they can. It may come in handy like when taking a dump. Their toilets were flushed the old fashioned way: a bucket of water nearby.
When I visit, one of my chores was to haul water and fill up the drum. Actually, it's my cousin's chore. But, he can't play until his chores are done. So, I help him out.

Borderline province near Island Cove Resort. It felt way too crowded to be in the province. So, I'll have to say it's an area poorer and not well-kept compared to the subdivisions at LPC/Paranaque. That's not saying much. Even the latter has gone downhill compared to a few decades ago.
