Hypothesis: Toronto is bad for my health

I spent 3.5 years in Australia. During that time, I was only sick twice. I’ve been back in Toronto for six months, and been sick (IE: sore throat, runny nose, etc) three times.
I can think of two possible explanations:
1) Toronto’s environment is dirtier and makes me more prone to getting sick;
2) I’m under more stress in Toronto.
#1 is definitely true in comparison to pretty much all of Australia, except for areas near mines and other heavy industry.
#2 is possible, but I don’t buy it. There were many times that I was under a ton of stress while working at Voxpak in The Gold Coast, Australia.
Thus, my hypothesis is that Toronto is bad for my health.
