Why do people get affected by flu differently?

280 viewsBiologyOther

I don’t get sick too often, but i just recently caught a bug that has given me a sore throat, congestion, cough and fever, the full package. However, my partner who lives with me hasn’t gotten any of this. I try to be careful in terms of spreading but I feel that symptoms like sore throat, cough affect me a lot more than it does when my partner gets it. Same happened when we both got covid. My symptoms were pretty bad when compared to my partners. Is it just a naturally better immunity for bugs causing these symptoms or is there more to it? How can I build my own immunity against this?

So a stronger reaction is because of a weaker immunity system? Or they are not necessarily related?
Maybe eating vegetables is key.
