its highly unlikely. Your imune system will 99 times out of 100 kill the bacteria/virus causing the illness before you start feeling any form of illness coming on

in most cases, your immune system would take care of the invader before you became symptomatic and before the infection takes hold/gets out of control.

in some cases, past exposure to a disease does not confer immunity and in these cases you can get sick many times with the same infection.

so, it depends on the disease/infection. In most cases, the answer would be no.

alot of diseases stay in your body either in your system or ne rves....say like chicken pox..its the nerves once you catch it it stays in your nerves dormant untill something triggers it...the next time it may not be chicken pox it may be shingles ( adult form of chicken pox-so they say ) at 34 i have only just had th pox!!!...if your immune system is low due to stress etc then you are vunerable to any thing even if you have had it before.

so i would say yes because it takes time for immune system to kick in and fight it off

A healthy balanced immune system will stop it but a smoker or someone with a compromised immune system will likely be in trouble. Sugar and aspertame will lower the ability of the immune system to be effective. It is impossible to know what condition of the immune system is. Eat well and avoid sugar, cigarettes and prescription drugs if you want a balanced immune syste.
