why does a stomach flu cause muscles to ache all over your body? What mechanism is causing it?
In: Biology
It’s not the flu that’s causing the pain. It is your immune system.
Think of it like a newer model vehicle. When the computer in new cars determine that something potentially catastrophic is wrong, they will switch the car into limp mode. Typically reducing max speed, turning off climate control, and sometimes shutting off the infotainment controls.
Your immune system is like the cars computer but for your body, it’s trying to keep you safe…sure it might be annoying, but it’s doing the right thing.
