    34 and I can only just start feeling a difference. I also noticed that I get (lightly, like a cold) sick more often, despite being more active than I ever was in my life. I also tripped off my bike and scraped my knee a couple of years ago and while it’s absolutely fine, that is the first wound that left a permanent scar. When I was younger I had multiple knee grazes like that in any given year and none of them were visible after the scab fell off…

      I don’t think you really get significantly less effective at fighting off viral infections until you get really old and start collecting co-morbidities.

      If you’re more “active” as in socialising more, you’ll catch more viruses.
