Hey Hader, just wanted to say thanks for going out of your way to post more info about this Topic. It's always something that facinated me, though I have no strong suit for Science. I always pay attention to the posts that go in depth on the subject of the differences in Amino Acids, DNA chains, so on and so forth. I enjoy it because it really helps me better understand just how much Trust and Effort Tali is putting into being with Shepard, and how much love, patience, and understanding Shepard must have to be able to wait and not feel frustrated at the long periods of time both he and Tali would have to wait before they could be intimate again. Judging from the Easter Egg conversation in the New Game+ it seems Tali only comes down with a touch of the Flu from making Love to Shepard, so no worries that it was fatal or anything of the sort. That does bring me to a question though. Tali mentions, during her initial Romantic Conversation with Shepard, that the Act of linking one's Suit to another entails trust, because the Quarian in question is risking either a mild sickness or worse to be closer to said person; however, after a time, the Quarian would build up a resistance to the other Quarian's native bactieria and it would not be a hazard for them to be together in the same clean room suit-less. My question then is this: If Tali and Shepard continue to be together sexualy, would Tali eventually become resistant to Shepard's Bacteria, there by allowing them to be together more often without her coming down with any kind of Illness? Thanks in advance if you look this up.
I'm not completely sure on that one. Conceptually, it seems quite plausible that her immune system would eventually become more and more used to Shepard in that way. However, Shepard is still human, there may or may not be some hurdles that can't really be overcome by her immune system. I'm not really sure, as the only real knowledge I have of the Quarian immune system and all is from what I have heard Tali say ingame, and I don't have that all memorized. The best I can say now is that what you think is a likely outcome, but not 100% certain in either drection. I'd have to look into it some more. I'm still delving into a lot of this myself, in between playing ME2 and other work I have.
Well yes, and no. I would think that if "Shepard's bacteria" were some static, unchanging quantity then theoretically yes, eventually her immune system would adapt to the ever-present biologic matter. This of course provided something silly didn't happen, like some random Quarian sneezing on Shepard's sleeve and making him an unknowing carrier of Quarian ebola or something, that would then infect Tali in a real sense, rather than an immuno reaction to foreign biologic matter. Would make her SICK sick, not just symptoms of an immuno response sick.
Therein lies the problem though. With Quarians and their suit linkage, the things each Quarian is being exposed to remains contant. There isn't some new and exciting bacterium sneaking it's way in passed the seals of one suit and taxing their immune systems further. It's presumably a steady, slow adaptation to biologic matter that is ever-present and unchanging within those self contained environments, until eventually they each are well enough adapted to the other that they may be suitless in the same scrubbed environment, such as in birthings.
Shepard's issue is that he is by default, suitless. The biologic matter he carries is not a constant. He could shake someone's hand one day, pick up some new and exciting germs. Lean against a bulkhead the next thinking over a report he's read, more new and exciting germs. And each time Tali and Shepard share a moment, her immune system will be taxed with the job of isolating and adapting to/destroying the new and exciting germs.
So while Tali may eventually be able to adapt to Shepard's normal compliment of tiny and nasties, her immune system will be continually bombarded by the biologic matter that he is unwittingly exposed to every day. Her immune system will never be able to adapt fully, as it would not know what would be getting thrown at it the next day.
Unless of course your Shepard, like mine, is 100% willing to sport a ziplock-suit for the rest of his days for his Tali 
That was a heck of a comprehensive over-view. Thank you for that. Well, from what little I understand of Biology and the Theories behind Xeno-Biology, the conclusion you reached is about as much as I figured the resulting outcome would be. Though I understand that Shepard could be introduced, on a regular basis, to new Foreign containminants, would said contanminants remain solely on Shepard's Skin, or would they find thier way into his blood stream, fluidic system, etc? If not, well, would it not be feesible than for Shepard to say...simply take a decon-Shower before making Love to Tali, so as to not introduce any microbes she is not already familiar with on a Biological level?
