how tf does one get a uti from sleeping in a tent?

bc it's cold, talking from experience here

you don't get a uti from being cold and same thing with catching a cold

I'm literally always cold and I've never gotten a uti or a cold from being cold 😂

i envy you, i've only gotten uti after being out in the cold and sitting on cold ground

:marseyakshually:

Cold temperatures can reduce blood flow to the bladder and surrounding areas, potentially compromising the natural defenses of the urinary tract. And cold exposure can weaken your immune response, making it harder for your body to fight off bacteria.

that's not how that works... not even how science works

It can if you have a propensity for UTIs. Not peeing regularly and not being able to wash can cause these issues if you already are pre disposed to bladder infections.

girlllll. Educate yourself lol

Nothing about it is medically wrong tho: Cold temperature increases the risk of getting UTI or a cold. I haven't phrased it well enough I see that, I assumed ppl would get what I mean :3 I also get the sense that my surrounding must have a weaker immune system in general than most redditors in this community😭
