"If a person has an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks self, targeting the cells, tissues, and organs of a person's own body."
In the Immune System, special cells called Antibodies, normally attack and destroy bad and harmful bacteria or cells. However, if a person has an Autoimmune Disease, the Antibodies, attack and destroy the good, healthy cells in your body, by mistake.
