🧠Your Immune System Can “Erase” an Organ From Recognition
In some rare autoimmune conditions like Autoimmune Hepatitis, the body’s immune system essentially “forgets” that an organ belongs to you.
Instead of protecting it, immune cells attack the organ (like the liver) as if it were a foreign invader. What’s surprising is that this can happen suddenly in otherwise healthy people, sometimes triggered by infections or even medications.
👉 Why it’s fascinating: The body isn’t just malfunctioning—it’s misidentifying its own organs at a biological level.
