So we can be protected against all viruses. Like if we created a harmless germ that constantly mutated in our bloodstream but spread fast enough to where it wouldn't be killed off so that we would produce antibodies for every kind?

My 14 year old brother is just entering high school and as recently as last December suffered from an outbreak of bacterial encephalitis. He is set on playing for his school's football team. His team recently began to practice with full pads on- helmet, shoulder pads, etc. and he reports to suffer from headaches almost immediately after beginning to play.

Is this an after-effect of the encephalitis and is it dangerous?

My Dad has a new case of shingles, and began a regimen of treatment with zovirax/acyclovir within 36 hours of noticing the first symptoms. The question is: for what period of time following the onset of treatment is the disease generally considered to be in a contagious phase?

I am not being treated for it presently. I have mild fibrosis and eat properly. I do take milk thistle and multi vitamin. I constantly itch mainly at night on my shoulders and arms. I am able to sleep at night though. I haven't been to a gastro doc in several years because of lack of trust. (He biopsied my gall bladder along with my liver). It later became gangreous and had to have my gall bladder removed. I have an appt. with a dermatologist next week for the itching because I don't know if it is related to the liver problems. I don't think it is cfs but I am not sure any suggestions?

Don't you think it strange that the private company, Meriel, at the centre of the outbrake was, prior to the outbrake, messing about with a virus that has not been seen for over 40 years in the UK. At the same time, prior to the outbrake, they were into production of the vaccine of this particular virus.

A statement from the company, after the event, said that they were simply topping up production of various vaccines, just in case (yer right). Even ones that had not seen the light of day for over 40 years?

How did they know that (a) the virus would escape and that the government would order 300,000 vaccines???

A nice little earner, particularly if you control both the virus and the vaccine.

I've had sex with someone who i think has hepatitis C 7 years ago. I haven't had any health problems since then nor do I have now. Is it possible that I might have hepatitis C? Please honest answers only, thanks!

Am I correct? Antibiotic resistance is from over pescribing in the community only, HOWEVER within the individual - over pescribing antibiotics will not cause any type of resistence for that particualr individual given they take full correct course?
What I am trying to get at, is if giving antibiotics to ppl with viruses (which obviously dont do anything) - may be worth it for the individual - as it would take care of the (potential)secondary bacterial infection quicker....
