Contract / develop
Hi,
what's the difference between developing and contracting a disease? Do they apply to specific diseases?
Thank you in advance!

Hi, kane, Perhaps we should wait for the medical guys, but in my experience you "contract" a disease by "catching" it from someone. That is, it's an "infectious" disease. Well, it's not always directly from someone, but somehow a "foreign" microbe gets into your system and creates a reaction which interferes with your well-being.

- I believe we say you "contract" food poisoning, which is usually microbial, but perhaps could be caused by the toxins released by microbial action.
