I've read that in olden times, people would teach kids (or have them watch) a memorable event, and immediately throw them into water. Just for this reason.

Only read it once, (or heard it; maybe from Huberman?), so no idea if it's true or not.

i remember reading something similar, but it was a huge slap rather than water (seems too much to throw people in water back when colds were lethal)

Can being thrown in water cause a cold?

if it's full winter before heating was highly available, i'd guess so

A cold is a virus, so not directly at least.
