First I've heard of it. I never got sick, and I've had to move ( needlessly ) quite a bit.

It takes a while to aclimate. If you have air conditioning, use it. It can take a year or more to really get used to a totally new climate, especially if the humidity and altitude is different along with the temperature. I know this from experience; we moved from the beach to the Mojave desert. Altitude up 3000 feet, very dry (I used a lot of moisturizer the first year, before my body figured out what it needed to do), and warmer in summer, colder in winter. It can make you feel sick- just treat the symptoms, thats all you can do.

Temp in and of itself will not make you ill, that's an old wives tell. Different bacteria for example like different temps...so one may exsist in an area where another doesn't. That bacteria however, is not going to like the temp of your body regardless.

Extremes in temperature on the other hand, that's a different story :)

Assuming you aren't speaking of moving to Siberia and such, your main considerations are allergies, regional illnesses, etc.

You may hear of certain bugs flourishing in certain areas where in others it doesn't. This is due to factors such as herd immunity...where enough people are immune to a virus that it doesn't have a chance to flourish. So, you're more likely to get ill in an impoverished area where there people are less likely to have vaccinations and such. On the other hand, you can expect fewer illnesses in a neighborhood that is more well off.

Basically what you can do to avoid getting sick is the same things you'd do where you are coming from.

Make sure you wash your hands before touching your mouth or eyes, avoid children like the plaugue, eat healthy meals, practice good hygeine, etc.

Good luck with your move!

If you're moving to a colder climate, just practise dressing warm. It's a way of life there. Also try exposing yourself (gradually) to cooler temperatures and never overdress.

If you're moving to a warm climate, your only option is to acclimate. Do it gradually and never overheat yourself.

Try and climatize yourself first i guess. If you are moving to a warmer, more humid climate, turn up the heat in your home and slowly adjust it day by day. Reverse the cycle if you intend on moving to a cooler climate.
