[QUOTE="VitruvianDoc, post: 1285692, member: 13736"] There is a difference to immunity to disease causing bugs and allergy. Allergy is a hypersensative reaction to something not normal to cause allergies. Repeated exposure can induce more severe episodes and eventually life threatening symptoms. Bascially what happens is circulating anti-bodies bind an allergen and trigger a special cell to dump huge amounts of histamine and other chemicals into the blood causing the throat to swell, massive edema, and eventually shock if the blood pressure drops low enough. Immunity to a disease is similar in that it involves anti-bodies, however they then bind a different special cell which consumes the invading pathogen and destroy it. This is true that repeated exposure can improve or maintain immunity (in some cases). [/QUOTE]
