2. Aches and Pains
Heating the body up is not the only weapon the immune system has against pathogens. It also has access to chemicals that can do a great deal of harm to invaders. These chemicals are usually released by our white blood cells, and they are very effective in the battle against disease.
These chemicals come with a side-effect, however. In addition to fighting against pathogens, the chemicals can also cause the tissues of our muscles to become inflamed. This can result in the aches and pains that we so often experience when we are sick. The symptom will usually disappear once the infection has passed.
