The human immune system is arguably the most complex system in the
human body. But scientists have made a lot of progress in understanding
how it functions. That’s important for understanding illnesses and how to
manage them. For instance, it’s important to understand that an immune
response takes several days to fully develop. This knowledge would
hopefully prevent people from getting impatient and seeking inappropriate
care.
