Summarize health link ramifications and relents as enzyme inhibitors
The health link talked about where subside molecules are bonded and go into a chemical react. Also, when you get an infection or the tamiflu your immune system will weaken and will take a while to get rid of it.
Summarize the health link antigens.
Antigens are any substance that the immune system can recognize.
