Ever wondered why the flu seems to find its way to us during the colder months? Prepare for a mind-blowing revelation! This episode dives into the intriguing world of the influenza virus, going far beyond the common knowledge of its seasonal nature. We unveil the secrets of the three categories of influenza viruses that infect humans and how their unique transformations, antigenic drift and shift, allow them to evade our immune system and keep us sneezing season after season. 

And just when you thought you understood the flu, we flip your perspective by revealing that the flu isn't seasonal everywhere! How does weather play its part in this microbial drama? And what part do our own indoor-living habits play in this? We also shed light on the crucial importance of getting vaccinated. Discover how scientists work round the clock every year to create vaccines that will protect us from the most probable versions of influenza to emerge. So sit back and let us guide you on how to shield yourself and your loved ones from this clever adversary!
