Why do people get affected by flu differently?

276 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?

Yes for the love of god someone explain why my husband gets hit hard with any bug he gets, and I’m just sitting over here with zero symptoms. I tell him it’s because of my superior immune system, and will continue to do so until someone offers a better explanation…possibly even after.
