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.

What can HPV lead to? Can it be prevented??
TEA [102]
<h3>Hi friend✌️</h3>

<u>Causes:</u>

When the virus doesn't go away on its own, it can cause serious health problems. These include genitial warts and warts in the throat. HPV can also cause cervical cancer and other cancers of the genitals, head, neck, and throat.

<u>Prevention:</u>

  • Avoid direct contact. The surest way to prevent genital HPV infection is to refrain from any genital contact with another person.
  • Get tested. HPV infections can be diagnosed with a Pap test, which checks for cancer or precancerous changes of the cervix, or a molecular test that looks for HPV DNA.
  • Use condoms. Consistent condom use can protect women from HPV infection.
  • Get vaccinated. HPV vaccines can prevent most cases of cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and anàl cancers.
