[quote=Anonymous]I’m the same way and have a similar lifestyle. In the last year since my first child went to daycare I’ve had a couple fairly mild upper respiratory things but before that I’d go years with not a sniffle. I almost never wash my hands out of the shower, and my food safety habits are extremely questionable.

I don’t remember being sick much as a kid. One memorable stomach flu in middle school. Never had strep, never had ear or sinus infections, never even went to the doctor between ages like 16 and 25, and I was “vomit free since 2003” for 10 years until my 22nd birthday. Can’t remember the last time I had a fever over 100, maybe high school? I don’t think I’ve ever had the flu—I’ve had moderate colds, but never body aches and extreme symptoms. I have only ever taken antibiotics twice, I believe. Once for wisdom teeth removal and once for BV. I had mild UTI symptoms once and just waited til they passed.

I think part of it is a naturally robust immune system but I think a big part of it must also be physical/structural?—like not having ear/nose/throat issues that keep fluid and junk from draining properly so all the filtered junk accumulates, or having a urethra that somehow collects bacteria more easily, or  creates issues that even a good immune system can’t fight efficiently.
