Monkeypox definitely disrupts homeostasis because of fever. Fever is the body’s normal immune response to infection. It occurs because bacteria and viruses cannot survive in high temperatures. The body raises its temperature in order to rid of the disease and return back to its natural state and be well and healthy again.
What is Papular Rash o.0?
Anywhom, DEFINITLY causes some serious unwanted attention in the body, causing homeostasis to be off balanced. The obvious fever trying to burn out the virus is one way it tries to retain it's normal state also the discomfort of the body are the affects of the internal body organs all fighting back to try to get rid of the foreign virus. Must stink for anyone whos had that.
