Spiders everywhere!

Does anyone know if Person A, if they never fully cleared a viral illness due to a weak immune system, can constantly trigger a reaction in Person B, who supposedly recovered from the same thing?
Specifically, every time I talk to this person, I’ll go a week or two without coughing. I'll wake up feeling healthy and in a good mood, but then I have a conversation with them at close range, and immediately I'm coughing and sneezing. It happens strictly based on contact.
Basically, as soon as I interact with them, I can't fully recover because it just keeps coming back.
It's been a few hours since we spoke, and the cough has finally settled down.
Could this potentially be H1N1? 😁

Like, if Person A never fully cleared some viral thing because their immune system is absolute garbage, can they just constantly spark a reaction in Person B, even if Person B actually beat the illness? Just wondering if that kind of lingering stuff is even a thing.
It’s pretty specific. Every time I actually sit down and talk to this person, everything's fine for a week or two—no coughing, I wake up feeling solid, totally fine. Then, the second we hang out in close proximity, the cough hits and my nose starts running like crazy. It’s obvious. My physical state is basically tied directly to whether or not I'm in contact with them.
Look, it’s pretty much a given at this point. As soon as I hit a certain age, my contact sensitivity just goes through the roof. There’s no getting around it. No matter what I do to try and fix it, the irritation just keeps coming right back. It's like my eyes have decided they're done with the whole thing. Just a cycle of dealing with it over and over again.
So, a few hours have passed since that whole conversation went down, and my cough has finally chilled out.
Maybe we're looking at a case of swine flu here. Just a thought. 😁

Look, there’s no such thing as a permanent state of being contagious with the flu. If someone actually has the flu, they’re infectious for the first few days of the illness, and once they’ve recovered, that’s it—they aren't spreading it anymore. From what I can gather here, you’re claiming you hang out with someone and then immediately start coughing—what are we talking, a few minutes or hours later?—and then the cough just settles down after a few hours? That doesn't add up. You have to understand that illnesses caused by viruses or bacteria have an incubation period. There is a specific window of time between the moment you're exposed to a pathogen and when those symptoms actually show up. It is physically impossible for you to start coughing just minutes or a couple of hours after contact and then have it vanish a few hours later. If you really are coughing like that, I’d seriously re-evaluate what's actually going on. If I were in your shoes, I’d be looking at allergies, especially if the sneezing and coughing are hitting you all at once. Allergic rhinosinusitis, for example, kicks in almost instantly after you hit an allergen—we're talking seconds or minutes. Infectious bugs are much slower than that. They take their time. Peace.

I can't really wrap my head around what Ivan was trying to pull there. It felt completely uncalled for. kaže:
Does anyone actually know if Person A can constantly trigger a reaction in Person B? I’m talking about a situation where Person A never fully recovered from some viral illness—maybe because their immune system is basically trashed—and Person B was supposedly cured of that same thing. Can one person’s lingering, unresolved mess essentially keep reigniting symptoms in someone else who thought they were in the clear?
Look, I’m telling you, it’s pretty straightforward. Every single time I actually sit down and talk to that person, the whole thing shifts. I’ll go a week or two without a single cough, I wake up feeling completely fine, and honestly, just in a damn good mood to boot. It's a pattern at this point. Honestly, ever since I had that close-up chat with that person, I haven’t been able to stop coughing and blowing my nose. It’s constant.Look, it basically just depends on what kind of contact we're talking about. It’s not some universal thing that happens all the time; it really comes down to the specific situation.
Look, I'm just saying. As soon as I hit old age, I’m cutting contact.Honestly, I just can't seem to shake this thing. It’s like, no matter what I try, I’m never fully getting over it. It’s coming back to me again.
So, it’s been a few hours since we talked things through, and that cough has finally settled down.

Look, this has absolutely zero to do with lice. You’re just allergic to that person—or more specifically, you're allergic to whatever vibe or nonsense they bring into the room whenever you're standing near them.
Look, if you’re trying to get a read on someone, you don't need some high-tech surveillance gear. It’s actually pretty simple stuff if you just pay attention. You could go by their scent—like, what kind of cologne or perfume are they rocking? Or even just the vibe of the clothes they're wearing. If you always hang out at the same place, like if you're constantly over at their apartment in Chicago, you can pick up on the little details of their living space too. Even something as basic as noticing cat hair on their sweater because they’ve got a pet. There's a million little things you can use to pin down who someone really is. It's all right there in front of you.
Look, let’s be real here: there is absolutely zero chance this has anything to do with germs or some random outbreak. It’s a total non-issue.
