What I find fascinating is the enduring quality of these myths.

The reason I say this is because I used to wear hats when I was in my teens and I remember the elders of my family (grandfather, grandmother, etc...) would say that I should be careful lest I wanted my hair to fall off.

I guess some myths fade away but are never completely erased from the collective consciousness!

Yes! Even when things are 'officially' debunked, they so often persist in people's perceptions.
