Infection in space

Reading the news posts in the group this morning I was intrigued by the fact
that the same microbe that made Fred hayes so ill in Apollo 13 has been
flown to station on a shuttle and that indeed it does become more of a
problem in the environment.

it led me to wonder if this is true why we hear so little about astronauts
getting ill on orbit. Off hand i can only recall one EU astronaut having to
excuse himself from a space walk for such a reason.
However, I have also heard many say that they do sneeze in orbit so one
assumes the possibility of spreading things is preesent.
