Yes, our bodies are unable to produce immunity to most bacteria from having had an infection by them before, unlike the viruses (like those that cause colds and flu) that leave you with immunity once your body fights the battle and wins.

Thankfully, bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics that actually kill the infecting bacteria outright. Viruses are not alive, so they can not be killed. Your body's immune system must fight the viruses until it makes the needed antibodies to attach to and totally inactivate the virus particles.

Can you have a bacterial infections without fever?

Yes you can. Depending on the person and infection, you may not show signs of a fever when you have a bacterial infection. More experienced doctors can recognize the duration of your symptoms, or they may send you to do blood work. I've had bacterial infections twice. I've had a upper lung infection, and the company doctor heard my lungs and the bad wheezing I had but still refused to give me anti-biotics because I had no fever and he didn't give me a blood test. I had to visit my family doctor and he gave me anti-biotics on the spot. Recently I had a bacterial throat infection and because I'm in a different country and they didn't have my medical history, I had to go to the hospital to get my blood work done and I had an elevated white cell count and a high level of bacteria in my bloodstream. Once again, no fever. It really depends on a person. I do realize that once I'm infected with a strain I'm not used to, I have no fever and it doesn't clear up unless I get antibiotics. Best bet is, insist on a CBC blood test.

Can you give a cold back to the person who gave it to you?

Giving A Cold BackIf you are asking if you can give the cold back to the person that gave it to you so you will not be sick, the answer is no. If you are asking if you can give the same cold virus back to the person who originally gave it to you, then also no, since they will have immunity from having had that same cold virus infection recently.But, cold and flu viruses mutate rapidly. If the virus has mutated while inside you to a new form, by altering its proteins on the capsid (cover of the virus), then, yes, it could give the person who gave you the original cold virus the new form of that virus, which may make them sick again. However, if the new mutated virus is similar enough to the original form, then the body may have some "carry over" protection. But usually it is seen by the body as a brand new strain and then the person would become ill again with a new cold caused by the new mutated virus.

How can you treat yeast infection if your dog gave it to you?

make some bread then give the yeast back:) Option 2 Yeast can be treated regardless of the source of infection. However the treament varies with location of the infection. Since there is no mention of the location the "how" is a mystery. If the infection is in tissue for which there is an established, over the counter, medication the treatment is straight forward, otherwise a trip to the clinic and a doctor's Rx will be required.
