Why Cases Increase in Kashmir During Winters
• Cold Weather: The colder temperatures in Kashmir can lead to a higher incidence of viral infections and vasospasm (narrowing of blood vessels), both of which can trigger Bell’s palsy.
• Weakened Immune System: The immune system may be more susceptible to viral reactivations during the winter months.
