@Lady_Euromutt @ArdainianRight @xianc78 @RustyCrab That is a good question, which I do have the answer for: it is observable and reproducible. You can take said bacteria, culture them, and put them into another living organism and get similar elevation of white blood cells, warmth, etc. Famously this was done by the guy who figured out h. pylori causes stomach ulcers.
>in 1985 Marshall deliberately infected himself with the bacterium and established his own stomach illness.

There has never been an instance, at least available in any scientific literature, of someone getting sick from culturing bacteria and then administering them to an individual all alone in the absence of any other ingredients and then getting sick from that. Additionally, if germs or whatever are administered in an unnatural way, such as by being injected into someone, that doesn't prove that in nature that's how people get sick.
