Line 4:
In [[Real Life]], [[Catch Your Death of Cold|exposure to the cold]] weakens your immune system, and damages the cilia in your respiratory system that sweep the microbes away from your lungs. But you don't always get sick in bad weather, especially if you're a healthy twentysomething. Moreover, in real life infections have an incubation period. Symptoms usually don't appear right away.
 
In TV land, a man endures the elements for just a few hours for a woman and suddenly he's got a fever so bad he collapses. The obvious solution is [[Intimate Healing]], because it always happens at night and hospitals are just too inconvenient or far away. This sometimes comes from [[Caught in Thethe Rain]], if the man lends his jacket to the woman until they find shelter. The man sometimes wakes up in the [[Apply Head Directly to Lap]] position. Sometimes leads to the [[Florence Nightingale Effect]]. While the man's unconscious, he can [[Talking in Your Sleep|talk in his sleep]]. The woman might change her clothes in front of him too, after all, he's not going to see anything. Unless he wakes up right then, of course.
 
This tends to happen very early in a relationship, shortly after the couple meets for the first time.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|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 (Manga)|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--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.
