Ep. 11: The body suffers from heatstroke as internal temperatures rise dangerously high.
Aired on September 16, 2018
Internal conditions become hot and muggy, preventing sweat from cooling the body surface. Circulation increases abnormally while body temperature continues to rise, resulting in heatstroke. Bacillus cereus exploits this vulnerable state. Even the dependable White Blood Cell, a Neutrophil, becomes groggy due to the intense heat and cannot fight the germ with full strength. The narrative questions how the body will manage this situation, drawing a parallel to global warming. The immune system struggles to maintain order as the internal environment deteriorates under extreme thermal stress.
