Why do we get colds and flu in winter only? |
Why do we suddenly get the flu in December. Why do people get more colds in winter. And does the other half of the world (eg Australia) also get flu at this time of year even though its their summer, or do they have a separate flu season in their winter. They are not confined to the winter months. You can get a cold at any time of the year. The flu just hits us when we are most vulenerable...; we don't. It's not only in winter... You clearly haven't had a Summer cold.. count your lucky stars, they last forever! it is just that it is more noticeable in the winter because we are stuck inside so we concentrate on it more and in the summer we can get out and not notice it Although I don't think you do just get colds and flu in winter (I certainly have got summer colds and they are yuk) I see what you're asking. I would imagine it is something to do with the cold, wet, blerghness of the weather combining with the cold germ to make it worse. We can get a cold at any time of year but in the winter the air is colder and therefore the germs/bacteria survive longer so it can be passed on easier. That's why it's easier to get a cold or flu more than once in the winter, just when you think you've gotten over a dose you get sick again. Colder weather in any part of the world increases cold and flu in their winter seasons. Probably because of the colder weather conditions coupled with the dark nights. The lack of sunlight tends to dampen our spirits, which in turn means that we are producing less 'feel good' vibes (endorphins). This has an effect on our immune system which becomes more susceptible to colds and flu. I also find that workwise everything seems a lot busier in the winter months ~ more pressure, more stress which also weakens our immune system. Perhaps the worry about Christmas looming affects many of us too. I'm not sure about Oz. I'm sure someone else will answer that part of your question. Best wishes. |
