what can make you sick in the summer in phoenix ?

Question

My husband and I have had high temperatures (103+) for the last few days accompanied with chills, night sweats, and muscle pain/joint aches. It's very odd that we both got sick at the same time, even our temp seems to be on the same cyles for highs & lows.

Answer 1

That sounds like a strain of the flu. Even though flu season is technically over, there's always a chance that you can catch it at any time of the year, it's just a little more rare. I'm guessing you and your husband both caught it at the same time because you happened to be somewhere together that a person infected with or carrying the flu bug was, like maybe a restaurant or a party. Sorry you're sick. I hope you feel better soon.
