Why do you get sick the first time when you are infected with a pathogen?
When you are infected with a pathogen for the first time, your immune system has not been previously exposed to it and needs time to recognize and develop a specific response to fight off the invader. This initial lag in immune response allows the pathogen to replicate and cause symptoms of illness before the immune system can mount an effective defense.
Can you get reinfected while you are already infected?
Yes, it is possible to get reinfected with the same pathogen while already infected, although it is generally less common. This can occur if the pathogen has different strains or variants that the immune system does not recognize. In some cases, the immune response from the first infection may not provide complete protection against subsequent infections. However, the specifics can vary depending on the pathogen and individual immune responses.
