HAVE you noticed feeling under the weather lately? The changing seasons, sudden rains, or unexpected heatwaves might be more than just a nuisance for the body, by quietly affecting our health and immunity. Sudden rains or heat can throw our bodies off balance. Rain increases humidity, which helps germs like bacteria thrive, while heat dries out our nasal passages, making it easier for allergens and infections to sneak in. Less sunlight in rainy seasons lowers vitamin D levels, a key player in keeping our immunity strong. Plus, staying indoors more during wet or hot spells means we're breathing recycled air, which can carry more allergens or germs. This mix weakens our defences, making us more prone to allergies and infections.

Lately, typhoid cases are creeping up, especially in areas with sudden weather shifts.
