"Cold and flu season is upon us yet again (does it ever really end??). If you, like me, absolutely cannot stand getting sick in any way, shape, or form, then you've come to the right place. Hoping to minimize the potential of getting sick this year, Reddit user Shinobi347 recently asked, "People who rarely get sick: what's your secret?" Whether you're an immunity pro or a Sickly Sally (IDK, just roll with me here), there's plenty of advice in these responses to help keep you well this fall and winter."
""Stop biting your nails. I can confirm, as a former nail-biter, that after I was forced to stop due to a dental surgery, I get sick significantly less now! You're chewing on bacteria and germs.""
Cold and flu season returns, prompting people to prioritize strategies that reduce infection risk during fall and winter. One frequently cited habit is quitting nail-biting to prevent oral exposure to bacteria and germs, with some reporting noticeably fewer illnesses after stopping.
