germs. Unfortunately, these antibodies can’t act quickly enough to stop you from getting sick. But by eliminating the germs, they help the child get well (“How Vaccines Work”). The immune system remembers the germs that made the child sick, and if they ever try to infect them again, even after many years, their immune system will come to their defense again. But now they are able to stop the invading germs before they can make them sick. This is immunity. It is what keeps you from getting sick from diseases

yourself rubbing your eyes, wiping your nose, touching your lips, or biting your nails, try to avoid doing so. If you continue on doing this without at least using a hand sanitizer, germs can directly enter your mucus membranes and even your respiratory system. You will then be more susceptible to illnesses during the flu season. Flu Season Health Tips: Have Some Quality “You” Time Find some time to relax from your hectic schedule. Doing so will yield to stress reduction, calming your mind, and improving

virus by triggering an immune response in the body that releases antibodies to fight off the virus. In the inactivated vaccine, the influenza virus is killed so that it cannot infect the person, but the antigens that trigger the immune response are still present. In the live-attenuated vaccine, the influenza virus is still alive but weakened so that it cannot infect the host. The weakened virus also carries the antigens that trigger the release of antibodies by the immune system. Both vaccines have

What do vaccines protect against? Vaccines protect us against infectious diseases. Diseases are an interruption, cessation, or disorder of body functions, systems, or organs (Merrill, Timmreck, 2006). Vaccines aid the immune system when warding off infectious diseases. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies to one person produced by another person (Merrill, Timmreck, 2006). Passive immunity is not considered a vaccine but can help in fighting short-lived infections. Passive immunity

Abstract: The immune system has a way of detecting and destroying cells that are abnormal, which can cause cancer in the human body. In most rare cases some cancers are able to avoid the detection in the immune system. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is also known as colon cancer, it is part of the digestive system that is called the gastrointestinal system. It occurs in the large intestines that are located in the lower part of digestive system. Colon cancer usually starts small adenomatous polyps, which

Normally, a number of different kinds of Candida species are present in the body, but they don’t cause any harm. However, whenever the body experiences stress or the immune system is compromised, the fungus can proliferate excessively and invade the bloodstream, which can lead to a systemic Candida infection. This results in the many toxic effects of this fungus. Here we describe some common causes of Candida overgrowth: • Antibiotics: Antibiotics are responsible for killing off the harmful bacteria

starting in Los Angeles. This disease presented vague symptoms such as weight loss, lack of energy, diarrhea, fevers and sweats, rashes, and swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms could be caused by any viral infectious. The unique thing is that these systems were chronic, progressive, and debilitating. Some patients presented very bad shortness of breath and a bad cough. With this they found that the patients had a rare fungal infection called Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). There were also some

Although it is strongly suggested, I do not believe that children should be required to have shots. A vaccination in simple terms is injecting a mutated version of a disease into the body to build up the immune system to prevent the body from becoming weak when a disease infiltrates the immune system. Since disease prevention is the way today's society is being structured, public schools find it necessary to require students to be vaccinated in order to attend school. The Center for Disease Control

three days old. Scours is prevented by not having a strong immune system. In order to have a healthy immune system the calves need to have plenty protein, fiber, and crude fat (First). Farmers and ranchers would use baytril and penicillin to help cure the sickness of scours. Baytril eventually was immune to the system and didn’t help the cure. Giving baby calves penicillin every other day was not healthy and would shut down their immune system. Scientist researched what they could do in order to have

paragraph is about the stress between students and how it affects the immune system. Meningitis is one of the most serious and spreadable diseases on college campuses and dormitories because of the number of students that are affected each year, ignorance of awareness about meningitis symptoms and vaccinations, and the lack of knowledge concerning the correlation between college stress and disease control that weakens the immune system.
