A member asked:

Can you inflame a slightly palpable neck lymph node by touching it often?

Lymph node: .. palpation could affect the flow of lymph through the node, which could speed up an inflammatory process that is ongoing. This is a bit of a creative stretch and thus, I would not suspect palpation when considering causes of an inflamed node
