to the parents that recently moved here....
have your children been sick a lot since moving to the area? not that i am blaming the area, but just curious to see if anyone else is in the same coincidental boat. we moved here at the end of april, and since june, my children have had one thing after another. croup, strep, multiple colds, etc. they are not in day care, i wash their hands and they take vitamins. WTH?

I'm sure it's just different strains of stuff that your children are being exposed to and need to build up an immunity. I just read in the paper the other day that researchers identified 200 NEW strains of cold viruses!

Are you sure they don't have allergies? Allergies will weaken the immune system making them more suspectible and also causing sinus infections, ear infections etc...

YES!! But it started the minute my son started daycare with 18 other kids. He was in daycare up North and got to a great point where he really did not get sick. I have heard others that moved here say the same thing as well.

We didn't see any change. But our daughter (knock on wood) is the type that never gets sick, even when things were running rampant through her day care (when she was younger) and now through her grade school classroom. So I can't really help you there.

Yes, we had the same thing for the first 2 months we moved here. Strep throat, pink eye, undiagnosed fevers, croup. Had a nice non-stop run but now everyone is finally healthy again. We chalked it up to new strains. But who really knows?

My son who never had allergies developed them when we moved here-check into that. He was back to normal with some medication. Could be stress and anxiety of being in a new house, neighborhood,school etc.

We've moved around the country quite a bit and it's not just the kids. Both my husband and I found we got sick more often the first year in a new place. I do think it's the local bugs. in time, you build up resistance.

Whenever you go to a new area, you meet new virus strains.
