Any type of extreme stress can cause an increase in leukocyte count, leading in leukocytosis. A burn is more likely to stimulate leukocyte proliferation in order to fight infection, which is a concern when the skin's barrier function is compromised.

<h3>Wha is leukocytosis?</h3>

Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than usual. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and not always a cause for concern. Most of the time, this means  your body is fighting an infection or inflammation.

Causes of leukocytosis -

neutrophils: inflammation and infection.

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections.

monocytosis: cancer and other  infections.

eosinophils: parasites and allergies.

How might the body respond if it is getting neurotransmitters from an outside source
viva [34]

When the human body receives a neurotransmitter from outside of the body. The first aspect to consider is if the neurotransmitter entered through the blood vessels by injection or by oral intake. When the neurotransmitter is in the blood stream can reach the receptor of this neurotransmitter in the body. If the person is healthy, the receptor will receive an overstimulation so the answer will be stronger than normal quantities of the neurotransmitter. Nevertheless, the reuptake of the neurotransmitter will occur in the same way as natural neurotransmitter.
