A survey was done by Vicks to find out what mom myths were still believed and by how much. Will you get sick if you go outside and your hair is wet? Should you get plenty of rest and not exercise when your sick? Find out the real answers (that will surprise you) after the jump!

#1.) Cover your head, because that’s where you lose most of your body heat: 85% of moms believe it, but it just FEELS that way because your face is sensitive to heat.

#2.) Get plenty of rest, and do NOT exercise when you’re sick: 72% believe it. While you need to get your rest, exercise can actually make you feel better.

#3.) Cover your mouth with your hand when you sneeze: 49% of moms believe it, but then your hands are covered with germs. Instead, cough into your elbow.

#4.) “Starve a cold and feed a fever.” Or is it “feed a cold and starve a fever?” Actually, neither. You should always eat well and be hydrated, but 40% believe the myth.

#5.) If you go outside with wet hair, you’ll get sick: 38% of moms think so. Wet hair doesn’t expose you to any more viruses than dry, but it will make you colder.
