Nah, its just what happens when you have a kid. I was exposed all the time commuting to work on public transit. Once my kid got into preschool I was sick for months at a time.

It's hard to explain the near exponential increase in pathogen exposure when 20+ kids are in a room doing the least hygienic things imaginable for 4-8 hours a day.

I rode the subway every day for years and rarely got sick, but a few weeks of a kid in daycare and it was all coming at me at once.

The running joke among my doctor friends is that pediatricians are immune to disease. Sick like a dog for the first couple years but then they become bullet proof.

And everything, literally everything, is going straight in the mouth unless you tackle them to break up the play.
