Re: Blog: Thursday Injury Report
It's not that Rodney's tougher, it's that his immune system is much more powerful.
Normally, the immune system destroys viruses by cutting them up into relatively small and useless pieces.
Rodney's immune system, though, when it latches onto a virus, goes further: it breaks the virus down into individual molecules, which it then uses to build new cells to destroy other virus particles.
So, in Rodney's body, once the flu particles see what's happening to their brethren, they break themselves down so as to avoid the wrath of Rodney's immune system.
Seriously.
