Meanwhile a school in Siberia believes that daily showers in the snow makes children stronger. From 2 years old.

>'Perhaps people will not believe us, but facts are hard to argue with,' insisted teacher Lyubov Daniltsova.

>'Our doctor confirms that children in groups that practice dousing get through the flu season a lot more easily, and generally the statistics show there are 95% of healthy children in the 'wet' group, compared to 75% among the others'.

I would be curious about the overall rates of influenza have varied in the school as there could be a selection bias for the wet group.
