10 Everyday Habits That Weaken Your Immune System (and How to Fix Them)
Our immune system is a marvel of biological engineering, a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that constantly works to defend our bodies against harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It’s our personal shield, meticulously designed to keep us healthy and resilient. Yet, in our fast-paced modern lives, many of us unknowingly engage in everyday habits that subtly, but…

testing negative for COVID now! this is the first of the four COVID infections i've had that hasn't Completely Fucking Destroyed my body for Weeks. YAAAY
#coronavirus#unsure if the current variant hit me more mildly or if it's just the immune function from like 5 vaccines and 3 infections.#some may also be having isolated from sick partners for as long as possible so the viral load was lower when my immune system kicked in.#i'm still a bit foggy and achy so not completely clear of long COVID concerns yet but. certainly doing better than i thought i'd be!#autoimmune tag

Mihawk had a hard time adjusting to the Monkey family diet and would suffer from having a weaker immune system. It went mostly unnoticed by Garp. He had gotten a worse reaction from Dragon when he was younger and just thought that Mihawk would just "grow into liking it."
Dragon noticed that his little brother was suffering from the food and started learning how to make proper meals for him. It took him a while to get the hang of it, but eventually, he started meals that wouldn't leave Mihawk sick. It was a bonus that he started enjoying making food. After a while, he would let Mihawk help him and teach him how to make and prepare meals.
Garp was practically banned from the kitchen but didn't mind since he got to avoid making food.

I haaaate the show's explanation for Ellie's immunity being "her mom was bitten while giving birth". That's not how the immune system works. That's not how mother-baby exchange of cells works. That's not how bodies work!!!! An infection with an incubation period of a few hours would either also infect the baby OR not affect the baby at all (baby is born and umbilical cord cut immediately, like show Ellie). There would be no time in which immune cells could develop, neither in the mom or the baby. That's not how any of it works
#Ellie's immunity should be a mix of her genetics and environmental aspects#Her specific immune system and things like her body temperature combined with the specific strain that infected her#Some people are immune to HIV. It's not because their mothers were infected with HIV during their birth#It's because they have specific genes that make their cells function a liiiiiittle different than most#Tlou

vincent was a pretty frail child and spent a lot of time stuck in bed because he was sick. he got over that in adulthood but fucking dying kind of reset that progress. he catches every other virus that goes around now and most of the time cloud and the gang have to force him to chill tf out and rest
#theres constant debate over whether or not vincent can GET sick but personally i think he can#chaos only really fixes things if they're an immediate threat to its vessel and a little cold isn't worth its time i think#he is dead but he still functions like a normal human for the most part so i assume his immune system still tries to kick viruses out#just without a heartbeat#mod zuko#ff7#final fantasy vii#final fantasy 7#ffvii#final fantasy#vincent valentine#headcanon#final fantasy headcanons

Well, like, depending on what's making you green still, I might be able to un-green you. If you wanted.
I don't think that's even possible, given the parasitic nature of sanitized ink. Without going too deep into the details, you'd probably have to drain me completely dry, which would genuinely, really kill me. And if I did happen to survive, by some miracle, I'd probably end up with even more medical problems, anyway.
Thanks for the offer, though. If it puts your mind at ease, the discoloration is the least of my problems with my condition.
#Anonymous#ic#Apparently Cuttlefish survived being turned into squid jerky because Sango cried anime tears on him or something.#But it's not really my place to tell you how it affected him if I did know.#I might not like him but I have at least the bare minimum respect for him.#//IIII CAN tell y'all thoughhhh. at least my interpretation of it#//apparently in canon he just fucking?? stays squid jerky for fucking ever???#//but in my interp he probably has to get like. ink infusions. i think maybe his ink sac doesn't function like it should anymore#//and as for the 'details' about sanitized ink. again my own interp.#//i think the process of sanitization probably involves not just ivs to get it into your bloodstream. but also going Into the body#//to get it Fucking Everywhere. hence the vivisection.#//while probably flushing out the 'patient's' natural ink in the process#//and once it's so thoroughly spread into every little cell in your body it Attacks anything that is Not Clean (sanitized)#//so while your ink sac might still produce ink in your natural color it's basically immediately sanitized#//kind of like an immune system that fucking hates you#//but even though it's now all over your body and you're fucking greened and zombified. it's Still foreign ink to your body#//so there are some uh. adverse reactions to say the least#//i feel like tartar might've developed some kind of 'cure' for those symptoms as a medication for its... 'employees' to take#//but obviously that ceased production and distribution once pearl booyahed it to death#//and of course none of the formerly sanitized octolings Remember the exact makeup of that medication.#//some might not even remember taking it. because. you know. brain scrampled egg#//anyway does fucking ANY of this make sense??? probably not.#//but humanoid land fish people don't make all that much sense either so#headcanons#muse lore

coming up with zombie apocalypse stories is always fun because you can just say whatever and people will just have to take your word for it
#personal#oh it doesn't make sense? zombie media rarely makes sense if you really think about it we're here to have fun be quiet#for this one specifically they've created some fertilizer with a newly discovered fungus as ingredient#because of its regenerative abilities it would be great for crops because they'll grow better and faster and whatever#but soon enough it turns out that the fungus can make you very very sick and well. that's how it all starts#original strain only turns a handful of its victims into zombies because it targets people with strong immune systems#the stronger your immune system the more likely your body ends up being to start taking on the functions of the fungus cells#which means it starts regenerating a bunch of dead cells and then you become a ghoul. oops!#but then you can also start changing other people into zombies which is how it ends up escalating because the original strain itself#wouldn't be strong enough to end the world but the fact you can turn others is what makes it spiral#especially big cities become vulnerable because the zombies are like. highly adaptable?? you get different types of zombies in different#environments so like city zombies are super fast but not too sturdy so they die quick but also change 1-3 other people before they go#and countryside zombies are a lot sturdier and tougher to kill but also are just much slower etc etc and so on#and because it's all in a fertilizer there's also zombie plants!! which is fun because they're an invasive species#so there's just zombie nature taking over regular nature and zombies can use these like#zombie forests to regenerate in and all that :] horrible times all around!

(rant in the tags)
#me when my hair started falling out#and my immune system deteriorated#and the structure of my brain physically changed due to over use of the amygdala#that was actually mostly bc of a different reason but my point still stands#and the whole time you get called lazy? helpless? needy?#😛#it’s so hard explaining to people why having adhd is ass#adhd is a disability#yes. it disables you.#its not just being quirky or fidgeting too much or being talkative#it is a lack of executive functioning.#your memory. your spatial awareness. your tense of time. your motivation. your satisfaction. is all FUCKED#the only way for me to be productive is to work myself to death!!#and I can’t even explain it by saying I have adhd#because to them that just means I get bored in math class#I GET BORED DOING THE YHINGS I LOVE#I PHYSICALLY DO NOT GET SATISFACTION FROM COMPLETING TASKS#there is ZERO motivation to do any work#OF COURSE IM GOING TO NOT WANT TO DO IT#it feels like I can’t do anything#the simplest of tasks take so much of my energy#sigh#doomed to obsess over something ; loose all interest ; abandon it ; and start the process again#it’s not a super power#it’s a disability
