Post-encounter upper respiratory infections

[+ claym]

Anyone else more often than not come down with the flu or a common cold or sore throat after a hot experience with a hookup or escort?   If so have you found a way to reduce its likelihood?

The best part of such encounters for me is the passionate kissing.  My non-medical assumption is that my immune system has gone into fight mode after experiencing something that is most likely the other person's normal protective flora and not necessarily a viral or bacterial infection.  

I also wonder how providers who have the reputation of being great kissers manage to stay healthy with the frequency of their exposure to what may be another person's normal human flora.

Thoughts?

I frequently had sore throats for a few days after deep throating a hung man.  I think it was less due to bacteria/virus and more due to physical trauma to the back of my throat.  I've since learned that poppers work well to relax my throat in such situations, so my sore throats are less common now that the penis can go further down my throat without banging on my tonsils.

I can’t kiss and tell.

I once had a guy who fucked my throat and then my ass transmit an upper respiratory infection from my throat to my gi tract. The doctor swore I had an sti but after several rounds of testing it turned out to be the type of staph infection that typically occurs in the throat.

Of the stuff that stiff staff staph is made of.

Interesting.  What were your GI symptoms?  Did the doctor suspect gonorrhea or . . . ?

That’s never happened to me over twenty years, thankfully. I seem to have a powerful immune system. For example my last bad cold was January 2013 and I never got Covid(or at least “symptomatic” Covid).

It's a strange thing, I had always had colds, nothing extreme, but noticeable symptoms progressing over a week or more at least once a year, sometimes more. I don't know when that changed, but I did notice that I had nothing of the sort during Covid. The isolation, mask wearing, the distancing, the limited outside interactions we were allowed, whatever it was, ended up with me having no respiratory infections through the winter of 2020, and still nothing into December, and January 2021 or the times over the next year when we had so many lock downs. Since then I haven't had a severe cold, only minor symptoms that built up a bit and faded (not always quickly). I have no idea what it was. Perhaps the Covid vaccinations, the flu vax I was more careful to get providing wider immunity than they had promised, or simply aging or the virus free years during the pandemic. I hope the hell that the absence of that part of my earlier life continues!

Well stated.  I too was free of respiratory infections during Covid for I believe the conditions you have identified.   And that has been generally true since the loosening of most restrictions.  Hints of a cold or flu respond quickly to over-the-counter medications.  Save for an erotic massage that turned into not unhappily a full escort experience.  Bam!  I was down for the count and then some.  I now find myself restless to hire but wary of encounters that are by plan fully immersive.
