No kids eh?

My oldest starting preschool was one of the worst times in my life. We were sick from august to december, then january to may. Dreadful.

It got better. My youngest is 3 now and is ahead of where my oldest was due to having 2 older siblings importing illnesses for several years, and this year we finally were mostly not sick all school year. Which is to say, we were probably closer to the 15 days "materially sick" mark. I say materially sick to mean, definitely sick, though perhaps not taken out of school (due to not technically being outside of the health exclusion policy, and sometimes I only realize they were "materially" sick after they got home instead of just "passably sick given kids will basically have a lingering cough from august to may).

This happened to us too, until I heard the podcast about Vitamin D. Nipped that in the bud almost immediately.

This is Linus Pauling all over again.

What's that? Any particular dosage?

I heard about vitamin D during covid, and that and hand sanitizer are the only 2 things we still do. I haven't been sick for a few years. Before covid (and vitamin D supplements), it was at least 25 days sick every year, if not more.
