Thank you for your reply. I really like the 'small nature' of the Fediverse at this point in time. One small mistake. I never said, and you inferred of your own that I live in fear. One way of looking at it, is that one can move towards what one wants (preference), or move away from what one doesn't want (aversion). Do you live in fear of dehydration? Or do you just get some water when you're thirsty? I prefer to be healthy, life is a lot more fun that way. And I can keep up with my consensual obligations. I'm always refining my approach to staying healthy in the first place. Exercise ( I love to move my body), good diet (healthy, delicious food is such a wonderful thing), a supportive social network (gotta have my dear ones), adequate rest (zomg! sleep! perchance to dream...) are the 'lions share' of my approach. I'm glad your system is "working fine". Bully for you! If you were interested, I think you might really benefit from learning a little more deeply about immunology. Dr. Brianne Barker at Drew University explains this topic in a very accessible fashion - a quick search of brianne barker immunology, would yield some useful lectures. Her website (https://bbarkerdrew.com/immunology-course/). I first came across her from TWiV, which is also quite fascinating and informative. Follow the science, it really is quite fascinating.
