Your Body Is Speaking
It begins with a scratch in the throat. Then the chills, the leaden fatigue, the aching limbs. Within hours you are flat on your back — not just a little under the weather, but genuinely ill. Fever, headaches, every fibre of your body protesting. Influenza is not a common cold. It is a systemic inflammation, a viral illness that puts your entire organism into a state of emergency.
The medical explanation is clear: influenza viruses penetrate the airways, multiply, and the immune system responds with a massive defensive reaction. But here the deeper question begins: why now? Why you? You were exposed to the same viruses as your colleague who stayed healthy. The virus is the cause — but what has prepared the ground? What has made your system so permeable that the pathogen had an easy time?
Influenza susceptibility is not bad luck. It is a condition — and this condition has a history.
