There is one thing about Tali that I don't get really. Maybe I misunderstood everything and someone with better knowledge of biology could explain this, but here is how I see it.
Human bacteria doesn't infect Quarians, but they get a dangerous allergic reaction. An allergy, as far as I understand it, is basically when your immune system wrongly identifies a foreign substance as dangerous and starts attacking it. People who grow up in sterile environments (such as a starship I presume) seem more prone to allergies. So far I'm with the story.
But the Quarians are known to have immune systems that accept foreign substances a lot easier than other races. They have a more symbiotic relationship with bacteria. They should not get allergic reactions. And if they did get allergic reactions, then the correct treatment would be anti-histamines, not anti-biotics, wouldn't it? If anyone should take anti-biotics it ought to be Shepard to kill the bacteria that could cause Tali allergic reactions.
Or did I miss something?
As Tali said there adaptability is alot weakened since they left the homeworld
Correct. This is how the Quarians immune system USED to work because the infections on their home planet all gave some kind of benefit to their host so their immune system was designed to work with these diseases instead of against them. However after living on the Flotilla in a sterile environment for so many generations their immune systems have devolved to practically nothing. They have allergic reactions to just about any foreign matter not just bacteria.
Tali goes into a great deal of detail when you first talk to her and she says she has a minor infection
