- | The acquisition of new bacteria is only one factor in the when and why chronic diseases strike. Bacteria are capable of rapidly changing their genetic structure – and can become more pathogenic and harder to kill with traditional therapies – through processes like horizontal gene transfer. Also, bacteria are allowed to proliferate because of a disabled immune response, for which they themselves are at least partially responsible. | + | The acquisition of new bacteria is only one factor in the when and why chronic diseases strike.

Twelve years later, after being bitten by an insect that presumably also carried bacteria, Matt started to suffer from intense headaches and recurrent infections, including bladder infections. Gradually, he developed full-fledged chronic Lyme disease. It is very likely that the pathogens he had acquired at birth had persisted in his tissues, and accompanied by the bacteria introduced by the insect bite, caused him to develop a serious chronic disease later in life. | Twelve years later, after being bitten by an insect that presumably also carried bacteria, Matt started to suffer from intense headaches and recurrent infections, including bladder infections.
