For at least the past 7 years, without fail, as soon as I start my vacation (whether it's staying at home, or going abroad) I get sick. Cold/flu-like symptoms. Time of year makes no difference.

I end up spending ~1 week recovering, before feeling normal again but by that time I'm starting work again. I tend to have to make sure I book at least two weeks, otherwise I don't get a break. If it's relevant: I work full time, software engineer, mostly remote.

Anyone else have this issue or know of it happening? Or am I just overthinking an unlucky run of coincidentally-timed colds.
