Quite weak, due to a kidney tranplant I have to be on medication that weakens my immune system significantly. Having said that though I rarly acctuallly get sick despite having a weakened immune system.
This right here. I get it from my dad who is sick even less often.knight of some random number said:For example say there was a sick bug going around; nine out of ten times it will bypass me and I will be completely safe whilst my friends and family end up getting sick.
Men indeed do have more RBC's and a higher total blood volume, but from memory I don't believe there is any great difference between the sexes when it comes to the immune system. I haven't heard anything along those lines anyway, and if it was it'd probably be something to do with the differences in hormones between men and women. If anything women's are worse because they have a higher incidence of auto-immune diseases, for reasons we don't quite know yet.cuddly_tomato said:I heard that women have better immune systems than men, owing to the fact they have a greater amount of white blood cells (men have more red cells as their muscles tend to be denser and more oxygen-hungry). Can anyone with a medical or biological back ground confirm or dismiss this?
