Default Flu shot if you’ve never had the flu and was exposed but didn’t catch it?

Genes and good habits are the 2 things that help most in preventing illness.

My grandfather died at age of 72, in 15 seconds. He returned from work, ate his soup, set in his chair, fell forward and was gone. He been to hospital in his lifetime once. Fell down on ice and broke a rib. He survived exile in Siberia, living in hole in permafrost for over a year. I never recall him even sneezing.
Now THAT is a cast iron immune system. Hopefully he passed a little of it along to you.

I keep active, but don't do sports or anything like that. One of my hobbies is cooking and experimenting with vegetables and healthy foods (even though I'm a pretty terrible cook), but for a long time, my diet was really bad, and also, I ate like half the amount of what an adult should eat, so I'm used to not eating.

Also, if I don't eat for whatever reason, I will start presenting flu-like symptoms. For instance, sneezing, runny nose, and headaches. The symptoms will disappear almost immediately after eating (20-40 minutes). Nutrition takes much longer than that to be absorbed, so that doesn't make sense.

It's funny, because when I say that I don't get sick, nobody believes me, and I don't take people seriously when they say they get ill, because it doesn't happen to me. Does this happen to anyone else?
Sounds like you're sick. Some weird disease there for sure.

Worked in public schools from my 40's into my 60's. Been through that 2009 Flu Pandemic with sick little kids wiping their hands in my face, colds, strep, stomach virus, pink eye, etc. Never got sick. Want to know how much vomit, Urine, and Feces, I have breathed and cleaned up? Far more than from my own TWO children growing up.
