Most of us equate “sick season” with snow being on the ground, but you can still succumb to a cold even when the sun’s shining. From late nights around the campfire to babysitting the grandkids to maybe imbibing a bit more sugar and alcohol than usual, your immune system is still exposed to a lot and can take a hit, keeping you in bed when you’d rather be at the beach. While catching a cold in the summer sucks, are they actually more virulent than a winter cold? Learn the truth about summer colds and how Tro Mune™ by Troscriptions can prophylactically protect and support your immune system, so you can stay active and enjoy all the sunny season has to offer.
The Truth About Summer Colds
If you’ve caught a summer cold before, you know that they suck. No one likes to be in bed on a sunny day in July. Physically and psychologically, it can leave you feeling pretty crumby. But are summer colds really worse than winter colds? Yes and no. Summer colds can feel worse due to the types of viruses involved, environmental aggravators, the psychological impact of missing out on summer fun, and sometimes a less primed immune system. Let’s get into the specifics.
Different Viruses
First, let’s talk about the culprit behind your cough and sniffle. While the usual suspects—rhinovirus, coronavirus, and others—are still out and about during the summer, the viral landscape does shift when the seasons change. Summer colds are more likely to be caused by enteroviruses, which can produce not only typical cold symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, congestion) but also gastrointestinal issues like upset stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as conjunctivitis (pink eye). These symptoms can be more severe or linger longer than those caused by the rhinoviruses that dominate during the wintertime. During the summer, we’re also less inclined to properly rest, which can make the sickness harder to shake and lead to recurring infection.
Environmental Factors
During the warmer months, more of us are contending with seasonal allergies and poorer air quality from pollen, smoke, or pollution, which can impact your immune response, make you more susceptible to viral infections, and worsen respiratory symptoms, making colds feel more intense. Additionally, air conditioning can dry out your sinuses and dehydrate you, potentially aggravating cold symptoms or making you more susceptible to infection.
“FOMO”
No one likes being sick, but in the summer, it can feel worse because a) you don’t expect to get sick during warm, sunny months, and b) you feel like you’re missing out on more because people are more active and social during the summer. Missing out on summer activities due to illness can make symptoms feel worse, a phenomenon sometimes amplified by “FOMO” (or “fear of missing out”). Research suggests that feelings of isolation or loneliness, such as being stuck indoors while others enjoy the summer, can intensify how bad your symptoms feel.
Individual Immunity Factors
Finally, after periods of reduced viral exposure, such as during pandemic precautions, your immune system may be less prepared to fight off new viral strains, potentially leading to longer or more severe colds. This is why it’s important to not only protect yourself against infection, but to proactively support your system in case of exposure. Tro Mune™ by Troscriptions works with your body to safeguard you against infection and more.
