When I was a young boy I would get sick pretty regularly (headaches, fever, nausea, the works). Now that I’m a grown man I rarely experience such extremes. Instead I find myself in more of a long term state of vague apathy and shittiness.
That makes me wonder if my immune system truly has improved, or if I simply lost touch with my feelings.
If, as an adult, you have a kid and send 'em to daycare…you’re probably going to be getting sick “pretty regularly” again! (It’s worth it, but it does suck.)
The shit we caught when the babies went to nursery was mad. I’d never even heard of these things in humans! Slapped cheek, hand foot and mouth, noro and rota viruses? All that stuff was coming in to the house suddenly. Yikes.
