Part 1(Project)

Part 1

Summary
This Article strongly relates to the immune system because chicken pox is a virus that changes forms. Even though it seems to be the same disease it really has evolved or has changed in some way. The flu is one of the best examples for this. Usually your body destroys the virus or infection and it remembers the virus so that you don’t catch it again and again. BUT, sometimes your body has short-term memory in which it forgets the virus. Once the virus is forgotten then your body will no longer produce the antibodies needed to fight it off easily the next time you catch it.

Reaction
This article is very accurate and learning friendly. I learned a few things my-self concerning the chicken pox and herpes. And also about where it hides when your immune system controls it. Its really nice to see how your body gets rid of all your problems but its also really bad to see that some of the problems that you might obtain, can never be cured.
