Many who are homeless live on the streets. They eat from garbage pail left over food. They are not able to wash or bathe often and being out in the open or living with others like them, they can catch any diseases near or around them. Their clothes are filthy and so are their hands. Infections come easily to them through open sores in their hands or feet.

Can smoking cause infection?
Smoking increases the risk of infection and the epidemiology of smoking related infection, and delineated implications of this increased risk of infection among cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking is a substantial risk factor for important bacterial and viral infections. For example, smokers incur a 2 to 4 fold increased risk of invasive pneumatically disease. Influenza risk is several fold higher and is much more severe in smokers than nonsmokers. Perhaps the greatest public health impact of smoking on infection is the increased risk of tuberculosis, a particular problem in underdeveloped countries where smoking rates are increasing rapidly.

How do lesbians get chlamydia?
Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; and birth to an infected mother. Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured and is probably more susceptible to infection, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection. see related link
