Are antibodies bad for you?

Question

Are antibodies bad for you?

Answer 1

No, antibodies are produced by your body to protect you from disease.

Answer 2

No, their your body's natural protection against harm.  I guess they could be bad if they turned against your body, which is a disease I believe but very rare.

Answer 3

Yes, they attack your body

just like antiterrorists attack terrorists

and antiseizure medications are taken to combat seizures

and anti itch cream is to get rid of the itch.

If you have any antibodies, you need to get some anti antibody cream quick before the antibodies obliterate your body

Answer 4

Not necessarily. For example when you are innoculated for disease, you develop antibodies (IgG and IgM)  to protect you. That is a good thing. People develop passive immunity (antibodies) from their enviornment which again is good, helps keep you healthy.

That is why its good for children to go out side and play, to develop immunity.

Now, say for example you are allergic to strawberries. If you introduce the antigen (strawberries) into your system, antigen/antibody reactions occur and you become sick (IgE mediated).

Answer 5

this is a difficult question to answer. Your body makes antibodies to fight infections and cancer. Those same antibodies can turn against you and make you sick (uncommon). Doctors administer outside antibodies to fight various diseases and cancer as well. Sometimes people have allergic reactions to those outside antibodies.
