Why does your body not attack metal plates and screws after surgeries?
In: Biology
Lots of folks explaining what happens with the right metals, but if you’re curious about what happens when you use the *wrong* metals you can do some research on what it’s like to have a “gold allergy.” Many of the women in my family can’t wear gold because their body has an autoimmune response and they get a reaction. Obviously, if you were to use gold as a surgical implant they would have a *very* bad time.
