As I was reading the original post, I took notice of a Podcast about how strep throat may trigger OCD in children. I wonder if it can't happen in adults as well? The reason being that I just got over a bout of strep throat and it seemed that my OCD hit me particularly hard while I was sick. I don't know if it was just due to the stress of being sick (as OCD tends to be worse during times of stress) or if the actual strep had something to do with it.

Any thoughts on this?
