How your body responds to pathogens


The body's immune system is composed of two types of cells; T-cells and B-cells, which proliferate the site of infection, producing antibodies, which binds the infecting antigens, destroying them.

So the next time you run temperature, don't worry, its a defensive mechanism of the immune system to roast (destroy the infecting pathogen), by denaturing the protein coat, hence, inhibiting their activity or killing them.
It may also interest you to know that sneezing, allergy, mucus production, tear secreted by tear gland(not necessarily during emotional situation), stomach acid production, wax in the ear, are all immune response to infecting pathogens.
Do not panic when your body run temperature, always endeavour to sneeze out, it comes with a full force that holding it back may lead to rupture of a blood vessel, and do close your mouth or sneeze away from people, and the next time you clean wax from your ear, be less assertive about it.
