Despite hot temperatures, it is still possible to become infected with enteroviruses, also known as summer flu. These enteroviruses are the cause of a flu-like infection that typically occurs during the summer months. Unlike the “real” flu, summer flu is more similar to a cold or flu-like infection. It is transmitted through smear infection and prefers warm temperatures.
One of the main differences between summer flu and the real flu is that summer flu usually only affects the upper respiratory tract, making it less severe. The symptoms of summer flu also tend to appear gradually, unlike the sudden and severe onset of symptoms associated with the real flu. In extreme cases, the real flu can even be life-threatening.
The incubation period for summer flu is usually three to six days, during which time the infected person is already contagious. The symptoms of summer flu resemble those of a cold but are generally more severe. Some of the typical signs of summer flu include loss of appetite, fever, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, headache, body aches, stomach, and intestine problems, and a runny nose.
It is important to note that the symptoms of summer flu can sometimes be similar to those of Covid-19. While corona infections are generally less common during the summer, recent increases in infections with the corona variant Eris have been observed in Great Britain due to indoor activities like cinema visits. Both summer flu and Covid-19 can present with symptoms such as a cold, sore throat, headache, body aches, fever, and dry cough. However, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of smell and taste, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling of lymph nodes, and apathy are more commonly associated with a corona infection.
To prevent both flu and corona, it is important to strengthen the immune system. This can be achieved through eight simple rules, which include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, managing stress, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, practicing good hygiene, and getting vaccinated when available.
In summary, summer flu is a flu-like infection caused by enteroviruses that usually occurs during the summer months. It is less severe than the real flu and primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. The symptoms appear gradually and include loss of appetite, fever, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, headache, body aches, stomach, and intestine problems, and a runny nose. It is important to differentiate between summer flu and Covid-19, as they can present with similar symptoms. Strengthening the immune system through healthy habits and preventive measures is crucial in preventing both flu and corona infections.]
