I caught the same virus again???

A few weeks ago I caught a virus, and now, yesterday, I have caught it again… is this weird… I thought that once you had it, your body becomes more immune to it… it is the first time I have caught something a second time so soon after the first time.

Is this normal???

Thanks

Answer #1

If viruses didn’t work like that, they wouldn’t be viruses. They would be bacteria.

Answer #2

When I worked at a day care, I caught the flu, then got better. A week later, I caught it again, and got better. A couple of weeks later, I caught it again. When you continue to expose yourself to the virus, you can still catch it.

Answer #3

It’s called mutation. You will NEVER catch the same cold twice. It’s just that there are thousands upon thousands of strains currently circulating.
