What does it mean when you have fluid building up in the back of your throat but you cant cough it up?
The liquid that is building up at the back of the throat is actually mucus (sometime referred to as phlegm). This symptom is known as post nasal drip. Post Nasal Drip results due to your body being unable to get rid of mucus regularly, usually due to nasal or sinus congestion. Thus the mucus is forced down the back of the throat. When the mucus become trapped in the sinuses/nose it gets thicker, and it is this thicker tenacious mucus that is getting stuck on the back of your throat. You can try mucinex or sinuswars2 to treat this problem. Post Nasal Drip foten also causes throat irritation, throat infection and chronic coughs.

What are three methods of transfer for food borne illness?
Generally speaking, food-borne illnesses are transmitted via fecal contamination of uncooked food products. However, if you are handling raw chicken and then you touch an apple, you can contaminate the apple with your hands. In this instance, the hands are the "method of transfer" but the initial pathogen on the raw chicken was most likely placed there by some fecal contamination. A general rule of thumb when dealing with any infection is that where ever the pathogen has caused infection is the same place where transmission needs to occur. The flu infects the nasal passages and is transmitted by nasal secretions of one person coming into contact with nasal secretions of another person. Salmonella infects the intestines and is transmitted by poop getting into someone's mouth. Yum. HIV infects the bloodstream and is transmitted by exchanging internal bodily fluids. Certainly there are exceptions to this rule, but it's a decent rule if you're trying to figure out how something is passed from one person to another.
