Description
The immune system is a marvel of biological complexity and coordination that mounts a comprehensive defense against almost any threat, from minor cuts to life-threatening infections.
Sometimes, the delicate balance that allows your immune cells to distinguish between self and non-self can be disrupted, leading to dysfunction. This can manifest in two primary ways: autoimmune disorders and allergies.
Autoimmune disorders occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own tissues. This happens when the body’s natural defense system can’t tell the difference between your own cells and foreign cells, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells.
