Some medical myths just will not die no matter how often they are debunked.Take, for instance, the claim that hair and fingernails continue to grow after death.There is absolutely no truth to it, but the belief survives nonetheless.As the body shrivels after death, the hair and fingernails start to look longer by comparison.Another medical myth is that getting wet in cold weather causes colds.But weather doesn't cause colds.Viruses do.You can go out in the freezing cold with your hair wet or get caught in an icy rain storm and still stay healthy as long as you don't make contact with a cold virus while outside.Yet another medical myth is that eating sweets causes diabetes.It doesn't, at least not directly.Eating sugar often leads to weight gain, and it's being overweight that is a high risk factor for Diabetes 2 (adult onset in contrast to diabetes that occurs in childhood) .It's also not true that eating chocolate causes acne.Most acne is hormone-related.What you eat doesn't affect it.Another myth that won't die is that touching a frog will produce warts on your hand.Warts, however, are caused by the papilloma virus, which is passed from person to person and enters the body through small cuts or cracks in the skin of the hand.
