An immune system is a collection of mechanisms within an organism that protects against infection by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells.
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
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.
Just a quick Q...Does the hubby fall sick after he's leant you his credit card? And you've gone on a nice old shopping spree????laying:
I had a wrestle with an alligator, i had a tussle with a whale, I handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail! Only last week i murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick, im so mean i make medicine sick
"If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologise!"

Well, apart from the times in my science lessons that i participated in throwing paper balls around the class I did remember one thing....The white blooood cells kickass! They fend for you, fight off ur enemies...EG. MR VIRUS, If u dont have enough of them, the dark side wins Which means u lose Which in simple terms means u get ill
Also Virus jabs are basically dead ol viruses being stuffed back inside you In some miraculous way they help keep u imune I forgot why
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? laying:

kay:
No. not especially, but i can if u want But then dont ask me what a certain bit meant, cos there's no guarantees that i know what i wroteD
AHOY the white warriors, Fight u shall! Conquer u shall! Succeed u shall!...unless you're THE husband...good luck mate

kay:
well i get ill every three months or so...but i find that ive learnt how to look after myself a lot better throughout the years of living away from home...so i get through it a lot quicker and easier.
"'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too"
