Got sick after huge rain

It's not even the current typhoon arriving and I got sick over a huge rain the other night. Maybe I'll just keep my raincoat outside and not inside my room. As for me it seems it's no longer safe to play or even bathe in the rain. Maybe because i didn't bathe right after dealing with the rain. I was actually trying to prevent the back yard from having a clog drain.

Sorry to know about your sickness. Some hot beverages and rest should help you feel better. Take care.

That is correct; getting wet in the rain these days is risky because you will almost certainly become ill. There appear to be numerous viruses out there waiting for their next victim, and you were simply unfortunate to contract them when you allowed yourself to go outside in the rain.

@Letranknight2015 Rains appear to be different today than they were decades ago. We could even play in the rains when they came, but now it seems different than before.

Does the rain always make you sick? It was raining here up until a minute ago. I hope I don't get sick, too. But then, I didn't get wet. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah I was trying to prevent it from clogging @Ineeddentures I told them to make a septic tank under it but they won't do it. I got sick because I didn't have a rain coat in.

Hello @valherma00 I can't believe it happened again. It's really not safe to stay in the rain anymore.
