Tips for Students to Avoid Freshers' Flu This Fall
Originally Published 3 months ago — by BBC
Freshers' flu, caused by a mix of common cold viruses, is prevalent among students due to close contact, stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep during university orientation, making it hard to avoid and often more severe than typical colds. It spreads easily in crowded environments, and while usually mild, it can sometimes lead to serious infections like meningitis. Maintaining good hygiene, rest, and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk.
