The season that you get sick the most is the fall season and winter season.

Many people are cooped up inside during fall and winter and so germs and viruses have more of a chance to spread from person to person which makes them sick.

The cold weather doesn't make you sick but makes it easier for you to become sick.

You can also get sick in the spring and summer months but you're more likely to become sick in the fall and winter months.

You can get viral infections and even respiratory infections in summer.

While many viral infections are more common in the fall and winter months you can get viral infections including the flu, COVID, pneumonia etc in the summer months.

Common viral infections you can get in the summer are enteroviruses, respiratory viruses and viral gastroenteritis.

I've also gotten the flu before in the summer months although I most commonly get the flu in October which I just got over.

The diseases and conditions that are common during summertime include.

Food poisoning.
Sunburn.
Heat stroke.
Dehydration.
Asthma.
Chickenpox.
Hay fever.
Conjunctivitis.
Flu.
Insect bites and stings.
Lyme disease.
Mumps.
Summer problems.
Waterborne disease.
Diarrhea.
Measles.
Skin rash.
Skin condition.
Headache.
Heat cramps.
Hyperthermia.
Jaundice.
Sunstroke.
Swimmer's ear.

Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash are very common during summer time.
