Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce.Infectious disease, also known as transmissible disease or communicable disease, is illness resulting from an infection.
Infections are caused by infectious agents including viruses, viroids, prions, bacteria, nematodes such as parasitic roundworms and pinworms, arthropods such as ticks, mites, fleas, and lice, fungi such as ringworm, and other macroparasites such as tapeworms and other helminths.
Hosts can fight infections using their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response.
Specific medications used to treat infections include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antihelminthics. Infectious diseases resulted in 9.2 million deaths in 2013 (about 17% of all deaths). The branch of medicine that focuses on infections is referred to as Infectious Disease.
Infectious is the fourth album of the third wave ska/funk/pop band Suburban Legends. It was released on July 29, 2007 at the House of Blues at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California and is made available for sale at the band's website.
The album was revealed in early July via videos showing the recording process on the band's YouTube account. Later in the month, the album was officially announced and "All Around the World," "Win a Date," and "Infectious" debuted on the Suburban Legends MySpace page.
The songs "Bed of Roses" and "You Told Me That" were previously released on the band's Japan-only release, Dance Like Nobody's Watching: Tokyo Nights. In transitioning back to its original ska sound in the months leading up to its 2012 album, Day Job, the band began performing a ska punk version of "So Fine."
I'm a wartime killer
I'm a man
I'm a peacetime killer
Bless yourself with a fiery hand
Spit on the place you stand
Doin the best I can
Don't make amends for what you do
Or move on your demands
We're all an only child
Imagination running wild
CHORUS
Product of our environment
Cut, blown and styled
I'm a wartime killer
I'm a man
Doin the best I can
I'm a peacetime killer
I adapt to nothing
And nothing please me
Just you wait and see
I'm a loaded pistol
Infliction, I am here
Infection, where do we go from here
Inception, made it clear
As I move into the plan
At birth I made a deal
I go
Called into the killings fields
CHORUS
I'm a wartime killer
I'm a man
Doin the best I can
I'm a peacetime killer
And nothing pleases me
I adapt to nothing
Just you wait and see
I'm a loaded pistol
Doin the best I canI'm a wartime killer
I'm a man
