I have had RA or a long time and in that time i have noticed that RA flareups can coincide with infections of one sort or another. However I think you have it the wrong way around. You see Rheumatoid arthritis is a immune disorder and does not create the bacteria that you need to get an infection like those that can occur with body piercings or any other damage to the body like cuts scratches splinters etc. However again if you do get an infection that activates the immune system and that in turn may have an effect on joints if you lean towards RA.
