The human body is equipped with its own mobilized response unit...
A highly skilled network of cells, tissues, and organs that work as one to defend the body against germs. As an amazingly complex structure, the immune system has the ability to recognize millions of enemies.
When it is in tip-top shape, the immune system can go toe-to-toe with any invader, wiping them out, cell by cell. The immune system works by having the ability to know the difference between our body’s own cells and the cells of an invader. Because of this, it is constantly working to repel harmful microbes.
An infection occurs when a pathogen (germ) invades the body, attacks the cell, and reproduces. When this happens, the infection in the body will prompt an immune system response.
Allergies, on the other hand, are like a false alarm. Something as harmless as grass or pollen can be mistaken as a threat to the body.
This is why allergy sufferers are constantly sneezing. A sneeze is a defense mechanism for the immune system.
