Thoery, on my immune system?

if you are a carrier, then you have the bacteria all of the time, it is only when u are run down that you will be symptomatic. simple things to help with your immune system are not drinking alcohol, don't smoke eat fresh unprocessed produce and get enough sleep. If you become ill with something else it gives the strep bacteria a chance to take over again as your body is busy fighting the initial illness. You should be able to get rid of the bacteria with a long course of antibiotics, strep has been linked to other health probs, talk to your dr.
