I dont suppose you work in a drug store by any chance?

Been in retail for much of my life in different kinds of stores. But when I worked at CVS I got more colds, and more severe colds, than ever before or ever since.

I think its because the customers there are there to buy Nyquil, and Robatussin, etc. You ring up and bag their merchandise after they handle it, and you take their money. The viruses are mostly spread by hand (not by breath).

No, I have not worked in retail in many years. But that would make a lot of sense. Kind of like being a school teacher.
