A closer look
Your immune system detects and destroys mutating cells that have the potential to become cancerous every single day without you ever realizing it. inside your body, millions of cells are constantly dividing, and statistical probability dictates that some of them will inevitably make a catastrophic copying error. fortunately, your natural killer cells patrol your bloodstream like microscopic bouncers, identifying these biological screw-ups and forcing them to self-destruct before they can multiply into a serious medical crisis. you are walking around completely oblivious to the fact that you narrowly escape a terminal illness before breakfast on a daily basis. it makes all our complaints about minor inconveniences like traffic jams or bad coffee seem entirely ridiculous when you consider that your cellular security team is silently winning a lethal, high-stakes biological war inside your tissues
