Hello,

I simply want to understand:-


Can altred water/moisture status of body cause altred cell divisions &
altred growth on pathogenic microbes--bacterias, virus, fungi etc.?

Probably, increased ESR on infections, increase in cell size on
divisions, fastings prefered by other species on sickness, loss of
water in prespiration, vomating, diahria etc. may be bit indicative of
body opting water loss and which may be related to some survival
benefits by reducing water levels discouraging pathogenic growths.

Best wishes.

Simply, Can more water exposure to pathogenic microbes in body cause
their increased divisions & growth?

Vomiting: The body tries to get rid of what it just swallowed. The
loss of water/acid is a side effect I would say.
Diarrhea: Bacteria cause the gut walls to leak and increase osmotic
forces, so water is drawn into the gut lumen and therefore "expelled".
It's not the body that decides to get rid of the water, it's the
bacteria that cause this.
