The alternative pathway of complement useful in the early stages of an infection because <u>It's faster than the other complement pathways</u>.

The alternative pathway is one of three complement pathways that opsonize and kill pathogens. This pathway is activated by viruses, fungi, bacteria, immunoglobulin A  and forms an important part of the defense mechanism independent of the immune response.

The alternative pathway (AP) is slowly activated spontaneously by hydrolysis of the internal C3 thioester bond [12–14] and further triggered by contact with various proteins, lipids and carbohydrate structures on microorganisms and other foreign surfaces [1, 15].

How to forgot everyone &amp; everything???​
Free_Kalibri [48]

oh hello again, it is mentally impossible (unless you suffer severe brain/head injury) to forget everyone and everything. your brain is constantly taking mental photos of everyone and everything you see, you will always recognize someone you have seen a while ago even if its by the slightest. That probably wasn't my best wording, my brain is fried ☠.
