Mother always told you, "Put your jacket on, you'll catch pneumonia!"
 
Line 13:
* In the ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' OAV, after Keiichi brings an unconscious Belldandy to the abandoned temple, he collapses from a fever and wakes up with his [[Apply Head Directly to Lap|head in her lap]].
* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', Kaoru walks through the rain to get Aoi, who's just gotten lost for the second time on the Tokyo train system. After they get back to his apartment, he collapses from a fever and Aoi has to save him with some ''very'' [[Intimate Healing]].
* In [[Yuu Watase]]'s manga ''Imadoki!'', early in their acquaintance, Kugyou finds Tanpopo planting flowers in the rain, and she suddenly collapses with a fever. She [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|hates hospitals]], so he takes her back to her apartment instead, and has to take care of her--includingher—including changing her clothes while she's unconscious.
* This happens a few times in ''Hana Yori Dango'' but the most ridiculous example is when Tsukushi falls into a swimming pool in a warm, tropical setting and instantly gets a bad fever. This prevents her from getting physical with Domyoji when they are finally alone together.
* In the fourth episode of ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]'', Tsuda seemed perfectly healthy until the moment he steps out from under an umbrella. Within seconds he sneezes and is sick for the next episode.
Line 21:
** [[Rule of Funny|Tries to]], [[Failure Is the Only Option|anyway.]]
* The ''[[Chalet School]]'' books are pretty bad for this, probably because of [[Values Dissonance]] and girls being considered to be delicate, as well as the school's large [[Ill Girl]] contingent. Any exposure to chills, rain, drafts, mud or cold water is fairly certain to leave the victim in the grip of a life-threatening disease if they're not immediately put into a hot bath and then into bed with two hot water bottles. In one book, Jo spends three days unconscious and is bedridden for over a week after standing for literally a few minutes by an open door on a snowy day.
* This is artificially induced as part of the hero's alibi in [[Andre Norton]]'s ''[[Spy Fiction|At Swords' Points]]''. He's handed a handkerchief and told to inhale sharply three or four times. For the next several days, he'll then have all the symptoms of a bad head cold, which will help explain why he wasn't out and about and didn't know the police wanted to ask him questions.
