What micro organisms make us ill?

Any microorganism can make us ill once it colonizes. For example, on your skin right now are varieties of bacteria along with yeast. This normal flora does not make us ill (usually). But if something gets out of balance, the bacteria or yeast can begin to multiply. Our bodies initially try to wall off the infection if it is inside our bodies; on the skin, it is harder. If our defenses are low or we cannot fight it off, an infection is well underway.

How might a bacteriophage prove to useful?

How long would it take to kill you or make you terribly ill to breathe in the ozone layer?

Breathing in the ozone layer, which is primarily found in the stratosphere, would not make you terribly ill or kill you as it is too high in the atmosphere to be inhaled directly. However, exposure to ground-level ozone, which is a pollutant formed closer to the Earth's surface, can cause respiratory issues and other health problems over time.

Why do viruses make us feel ill?

Viruses make us feel ill by invading our cells and causing damage to our tissues. This triggers an immune response that can lead to symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and fatigue as our body fights off the infection.

What are your chances of getting chlamydia?

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the US and Canada. In the US, 50% of women will have had the infection by the time they're 30 years old; it is likely that the rates in males are the same. About 3-6% of the US population is infected at any one time. The chances of getting chlamydia from an act of vaginal sex are between 40 and 60%. See related links for references.There is not data to answer your question, but chlamydia is the #1 bacterial infection, infecting in the US 1.25 million people per year (reported; so the actual number is higher as some have no symptoms hence they don't know they are infected).
