Beta strep? It's a common germ, and infections are usually minor.
When you get an infection, your macrophages produce tumor necrosis
factor, which causes the brain to produce prostaglandins, which
cause fever and shut off tumor necrosis factor. Aspirin and
nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs block the production of
prostaglandins, causing the white blood cells to keep on producing
tumor necrosis factor. This can allow the bacteria to spread
through the body, producing toxins which dissolve tissue.
