The immune system fights scabies mites through inflammatory and adaptive immune responses
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 82/100
Multiple studies confirm that the immune system reacts to scabies mite infestations through a combination of innate inflammatory mechanisms and adaptive immune responses, including cellular and humoral pathways.
