An immune system is a collection of mechanisms within an organism that protects against infection by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells.

I'd like to know how many times in a year do u fall ill. By Illness 'I mean fever, flu, diarrhea, or any other physical illness that'd require rest.
What interests me is how some ppl amazingly get sick more often than others who rarely get sick. I'd like to see the ratio.

You don't need to answer that ukhtee but I hope your poll gets you interesting results!
No sister, I am not a doc.. But this thing makes me think a lot..
How can my husband fall sick twice or thrice every year..while I fall sick once in 3 yrs!!!!..
He seems healthier than me...and I am much weaker than him.
I'd like to see the poll results n then ask someone knowledgable abt this phenomenon. Inshallah
Mashaa'Allaah, I will leave the 'comedians' on this forum to answer that one!!!How can my husband fall sick twice or thrice every year..while I fall sick once in 3 yrs!!!!..
The immune system actually becomes stronger with greater exposure to the pathogen, microbe, etc. The antibodies (in the white blood cells) are then able to protect the body from the pathogen for the next time (the same way the vaccination and immunisation works). Some people are more exposed to illness and so become more immune to them (though not always the case because teachers are at most risk from the flu etc because of their close contact with children). Some people have a weaker immune system because of other factors including stress, hormone imbalance, poor diet, anxiety or an uncleared infection which is dormant in the body.
ukhtee, you are just like me, i very rarely fall ill, cant remember the last time i was ill, it was too long ago.format_quote Originally Posted by AmarFaisal

No Problem..I'l take my brothers/sisters teasers:thankyou:
*Smiles*
Well, apart from the times in my science lessons that i participated in throwing paper balls around the class
Also Virus jabs are basically dead ol viruses being stuffed back inside you
So..im guessing your hubby gets a shortage of these white warriors when the 'other' side attack..which just happens to happen when he reads the bills
You on the other hand have plenty of the white warriors fending for you, and you've probably had most of the common viruses before, so now your immune cos them clever things in your blood cells remember the magic formula
Did i confuse the matter just a tad?
