I've been victimized by general filthiness on multiple

I’ve been victimized by general filthiness on multiple occasions… I received a nasty staph infection… I was told to wait it out… a few days later I literally thought I was going to die… I ended up being on antibiotics for five weeks and, as a result, I had to back out of the fight against Machida.
Forrest Griffin
I sing and play the guitar, and I’m a walking, talking bacterial infection.

What seems to be clear to me is that after the primary infection most of the cells die indirectly, but at the later stage, when the viral load is very high, the virus kills a lot of cells directly.
Luc Montagnier
I don’t know whether other asthma sufferers find this, but I’ve noticed that even when I’ve got my asthma under control, I often develop another problem such as an ear, chest or sinus infection and sometimes even joint pains.

One of the mysteries of hep B immunization is that vaccinating only ‘high risk’ groups, which was the original public health strategy, did not bring down rates of infection.
Eula Biss
The worst job I ever had was working as a Lady Liberty sign-twirler for a tax services place, where I’d just dance and have fun. The way I talk about it makes it sounds like a fun job – but then I got a staph infection from the costume. So that was probably the worst part about it.
Ron Funches
To me, the blues is an infection. I don’t think it’s necessarily a melancholy thing; the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It’s more reflective; it reminds you to feel.
Mick Fleetwood
Covid is likely to persist once its pandemic phase has passed and circulate each winter alongside the flu. Even after more of us contract coronavirus infection and develop immunity to it or even after an effective vaccine arrives, some people will still get very sick.
Scott Gottlieb
The world can now maintain an acute infection in a way that is unprecedented in the history of life on our planet.

Charles Jules Henry Nicole
A pandemic influenza would mean widespread infection essentially throughout every region of the world.
Anthony Fauci
We’ve all been sick; we’re all afraid of infection. I think the easiest application to help people understand what quorum sensing is and why it’s important to study is to tell them that if we could make the bacteria either deaf or mute, we could create new antibiotics.
Bonnie Bassler
Disease is not the prerogative of man and the domestic animals, so it was quite natural to see if the lower animals, with very simple organizations, showed pathological phenomena, and if so, infection, cure and immunity could be observed among them.
Elie Metchnikoff
The discovery that I soon made that the guinea pig was also susceptible to infection made it possible for me, from the third year on, to preserve the virus on this animal.

And you know, they just prayed that it be healed and it sure was. It went away and that was that. And I knew I was healed. What are the chances, eh? That was the Lord working!
Mike Fisher
Melody’s like tweezers that go into the infection and pull out the wounded part. You can almost not stay silent in the face of a melody that matches your emotion. You feel seen.
Mary Gauthier

Stephen Lewis
Now, when you get a viral infection, what normally happens is it takes days or weeks for your body to fight back at full strength, and that might be too late. When you’re pre-immunized, what happens is you have forces in your body pre-trained to recognize and defeat specific foes. So that’s really how vaccines work.
Seth Berkley
Astonishingly, in spite of decades of research, there is no agreed theory of cancer, no explanation for why, inside almost all healthy cells, there lurks a highly efficient cancer subroutine that can be activated by a variety of agents – radiation, chemicals, inflammation and infection.
Paul Davies
I finally demonstrated that typhus infection is not hereditary in the louse.
Charles Jules Henry Nicole

But as they say, the third time’s a charm, because my mom and dad adopted me and took me into their home where I was raised in a family full of love.
Rodney Atkins
A culture is like an immune system. It operates through the laws of systems, just like a body. If a body has an infection, the immune system deals with it. Similarly, a group enforces its norms, either actively or passively.
Henry Cloud

Robert Winston
The more cases of Ebola infection we have, the more chances there are for the virus to mutate in a particular way that adapts it well to living in humans, replicating in humans, and perhaps transmitting from human to human.
David Quammen
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has established highly specific criteria for the diagnosis of Lyme disease: an acknowledged tick bite, the appearance of a bull’s-eye rash, and, for those who don’t live in a region where Lyme is common, laboratory evidence of infection.
Michael Specter
My proposal now is to test a vaccine first on people who have been infected, and if you show some efficacy at this level, you might be able to go further to study uninfected people in a population with a high rate of infection.
Luc Montagnier
Well, I had a small degree, that little infection of skepticism about America which resides in the minds of even America’s closest friends. That America can’t be quite as good as it says it is. And why does it need so relentlessly to keep saying how good it is?
Robert MacNeil
