Our immune system has a full ability to differentiate between healthy tissue from unwanted substances. When the immune system detects a harmful substance, it arranges a complex attack on the invading micro-organism. It also helps in removal of dead and faulty from the body. However, the immune system does mistake in detection of the cells. It then leads to autoimmune diseases and allergies.
