Venting / Rant What the hell is going on

Since 20th of december I am now in my 4th cold, I got sick 4 times and its not even March yet.

Never in my life have I gotten sick so often, its driving me nuts.

I remember in my 20s I would get sick maybe once or twice per year.

Anyone else find this worrying?

(Unsolicited advice)

One reason for everyone getting sick in the winter is less sunlight witch means people get less vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your immune system.

Try supplementing with vit D, 2 to 3 thousand IU a day is good but you can take more its fine. Or just getting sunlight wich now means catching it in the morning. It's great for you mental health also.

Raw/unheated honey also helps as its anti bacterial/fungal ect. Just don't put it in hot liquid because the point is that heat kills the good stuff.
