They are usually the most irritating line of defense and the body's reaction to a potential contaminant.

For example, when one touches poison ivy, the body will release histamines to react to the allergen. A blotchy red patch will appear on the skin (possibly several). An anti-histamine, like Benadryl, can help clam these symptoms.

Verdich [7]
<span>As young as they are children actually experience stress in some situations. 

Numerous studies have been found to posit that there is a significant relationship between body response and stress. Too much stress or prolonged stress causes the body to fall short of its normal functioning. This disruption causes the body to shift into unresponsive and weak behavior which leads to illness and other caused diseases.</span>

How long does it take for dissolvable stitches to dissolve after birth
xeze [42]

Answer:

After delivery, the doctor or midwife usually closes the perineal tear with stitches. The stitches will dissolve in 1 to 2 weeks, so they will not need to be removed. You may notice pieces of the stitches on your sanitary pad or on the toilet paper when you go to the washroom (:
