🤜Our bodies are constantly at war with harmful pathogens. While healthy individuals often ward off these threats with ease, an unchecked infection can cause the immune system to overreact, leading the body to inadvertently harm itself. If not addressed in time, sepsis can advance to a lethal stage known as septic shock, potentially resulting in organ failure, amputations, and cognitive issues.
