I'm originally from Zabaykalsky Krai, Chita Oblast. In winter, the frost there reaches -40-50 degrees Celsius; it's dry and biting. You step outside, and your eyelashes are already covered in icicles, and the water from your nose instantly turns into icicles from the cold. We lived there until I was 14. I walked 3 km to school by myself every day, starting from first grade. We didn't have a car back then; only a few people did. My legs are completely frostbitten; I always walked to school and felt like needles were pricking my thighs. In August, it's 0 degrees Celsius, in September, it's -1. The temperature drops very quickly. Now it's a stable -10 during the day and -14 at night. But we never got sick with viruses! Never. Maybe once a year something minor, and even that's not a guarantee. In my entire school life, I had a fever maybe twice, with no cough or anything else. Then, relatives moved us to the Tyumen Oblast. Oh, that beloved Tyumen with its unreal snows and frosts. A stable -30 degrees Celsius and snow above your head. There's a constant wind outside. A frost that pierces to the bone. But we never got sick! In the 10 years we lived there, only rare viruses. In 2014, I wanted to move to a warmer climate; I was tired of the cold. So I started traveling around the central part of Russia. Guys, since 2014, I just can't get rid of viruses. My throat constantly hurts; as soon as it heals, something new comes along. For example, 1.5 years ago, everyone started with a terrible cough; we treated it and treated it. I cured the kids, but I coughed so much it felt like I was going to cough up my organs. I had to go on antibiotics (they disappeared in 3 days). Then norovirus hit – the kids vomited multiple times. *** We were in the hospital. Lying there. Just got better. We got out. Yesterday I woke up – my throat was raw, today I can't even speak. It's some kind of hell. This nasty weather around +10 degrees Celsius, where it's not warm, but the sun is out, and bacteria aren't killed. And it's not just me. I moved my whole family here, and even they can't escape the viruses. Even my brother, who never got sick, has caught all sorts of things here. People from the North, tell me... Am I right? I'm close to tears. I impatiently await the period from September to April because that's when we're constantly battling viruses 🤨
She was sick yesterday and had diarrhea a couple of times. Today, the diarrhea is gone, but when she…

These aren't viruses, it's your immune system adapting… You used to live in places with similar climates, so your body was used to it. Now, you're going through acclimatization. And yes, it can take three or even five years...

It's like kindergarten, the body's adaptation period.

I live in the south, and that's where the constant viruses are. We don't have freezing temperatures, but we have viruses in the winter. In the summer, they bring viruses from the sea, especially intestinal ones. This year, they outdid themselves – 121 children at school got an intestinal virus at the beginning of September. Everyone got sick, including me from the kids. We thought it was food poisoning, but nope, damn it. Rospotrebnadzor [Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing] took samples twice from those who were sick at home, and the diagnosis was a viral infection. I don't remember the exact name – some intestinal virus. And this happens here constantly, in waves.

This is your adaptation. I don't get sick like that, and no one in my family does. I had a high fever in 2000, 2013, and 2023. I don't remember before 2000, I was in school then, but I didn't get sick much either.

No, I don't agree... I was sick when I lived in Omsk

I disagree. I was born and raised in central Russia, and I only got sick once a year at school and the same at kindergarten.

morozka Are you near Chita? Do you get sick often?

Kondrateva Ekaterina So, the reason for the virus is the lack of frost, which kills them.

Darya Besides boosting immunity, there's not much else to recommend. Vitamins, omega, D3, zinc, and of course, vaccination.

Darya I've been thinking about that too.
It's 3 AM and my throat is killing me, it's awful.

We live in the Volga region. In my entire childhood, I only remember having bronchitis at 6 years old, a couple of times with a fever, and strep throat during my second year of college. That's it. My mom says I practically never got sick. My sister, on the other hand, was sick all the time. I used to wait so much for her to grow up. My son used to get sick often too, and there are still moments now. I guess it's all individual.

I spent my entire youth and childhood in the south, barely getting sick. I moved to the Volga region and developed chronic bronchitis and otitis. My son was born and is growing up in the Volga region, and he barely gets sick 🤣

Well, you probably aren't getting sick because you haven't had it before. I've lived in the temperate zone my whole life, so of course I don't get sick that often. Maybe once a year. When my oldest was born, I got sick more often, but now it's less frequent again, thank God.
It's understandable that they die in the frost. That's the price of warmth

Lena Pugacheva Hahaha, I just realized I haven't lived in the central region for a long time 🤣 I lived there until I was 24, and then I moved to the Northwest, where I've been living for 17 years. But it's even worse there, because at least it gets freezing cold in the central region, while here it's just slush and rain
