- Air pollution
Air pollution in Beijing is quite high, even when the air seems to be clear. It is most concerning for people who stay here for many years, but it’s also a potential issue for those who are already sick or vulnerable, such as small children or the elderly, or people with chronic heart and lung disease.
- Flu
Flu is actually a pretty nasty illness. People often say “flu” when they mean “cold”but aside from all the vomiting and fevers, the real thing can be serious for you. It can even lead to a hospital stay and more complicated conditions, including pneumonia and bronchitis.
