Anecdotal but certainly fits the idea of Terrain....

About six years ago I stopped getting my teeth cleaned regularly, after the dentist had referred me to an oral surgeon for an unnecessary and botched biopsy. And then the "virus" holocaust closed down the dentist for a couple years. I've been suffering from the neglect in obvious ways, plus one non-obvious way. Two years ago I had a UTI for the first time ever, which turned out to be caused by Klebsiella, not E coli. Klebsiella is typically a mouth bacterium.

Migrant got into the wrong terrain where the border patrols weren't authorized to deport it.

I finally got back to the dentist last year, and after many months of waiting because they're overworked and understaffed after the "virus" holocaust, I'm getting a deep cleaning. The first part is done, and the second half will be done on Friday. The difference between sides makes a dramatic controlled experiment. No more pain or swelling on the cleaned side. I've learned my lesson!
