No because you've already had it, your body should be immuned to it.

It depends. If it is a sickness that your body builds an antibody to, then no. If your body has not built an antibody to it, then yes. I believe a viral type of illnesses (like the flu) can be "caught back" from somebody after you've given it to him/her and recovered from it. Report It

By the way, the symptoms the asker described can be associated with the flu. Report It

  • Yes.

    sure can

    yes

    depends on the sickness. But mostly that shouldn't happen because your body has created a shield against it

    NO BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAD IT. ;)
