    Is there many people suffering from chest infections and the flu at the moment in Ireland?

    I ask because I am, and I'll be going to the doctor later, but I always seem to get the same illness in the same month for the past five or six years and I'm interested to know if there's anyone else like this.

    Yes, there are. The person that infected you, for a start.

    If you're in school or Uni or any place where vast amounts of people are in a room together, it's inevitable. I got bugs every September or October of my life, and now I work in a Uni it's the same thing. Parents of kids in school pick them up from the kids who are all in a class together, breathing in each others germs.

    Work on your own, the intersection of the seasons are always fertile ground for bugs.

    You should start building up your immune system around late summer in advance of autumn: licking bus poles, dog turds, park benches etc.

    A chest infection is a bacterial or viral infection of the airways leading down into the lungs, or of the lungs themselves

    From the HSE website.
