During winter, we tend to huddle indoors in an understandable bid to stay warm. But while this makes for a cosy setting, it also becomes a major breeding ground for virus transmission. The dry air in offices, public transport and our homes can strip the moisture from our nasal passages, leaving us more susceptible to infections.
The nose, mouth, and eyes serve as the primary gateways for viruses to enter the body. Unlike bacteria, which can be effectively combated with antibiotics, viruses thrive due to how hey siphon energy from host cells. When our initial immune response falls short, viruses infiltrate our bodies while our white blood cells kick into gear, producing antibodies.
Do antibodies always do the trick? What about stomach bugs? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
