7. Wound Infections
If you cut yourself then you leave yourself exposed to the possibility of pathogens entering into the body through the wound. If pathogens do manage to enter the body, then there is a chance that they can form an infection. In some cases, such an infection can turn out to be very dangerous for the patient.
The immune system will recognize this danger and do what it can to fight off the invaders. The lymph nodes get called into action and they become swollen as a result. Another important sign that an area has become infected is that it feels hot to the touch.
