My *new* theory is that PATM reactions come from the body emitting from multiple sources, white blood cells.
Now if you do a little research on white blood cells you will know that there are a few different kinds:
Neutrophil - Targets fungi/bacteria representing 62% of your blood
Eosinophil - Targets larger parasites representing 2.3%
Basophil - Releases a histamine for inflammatory responses 0.4% of your blood. <-------------- LOOK AT THIS
Lymphocites - These are the white blood cells most people think of, the main fighter cells 30%
Monocyte - Migrate from tissue to other tissue 5.3%
My focus is on the basophil, as it is the primary white blood cell (WBC) that is responsible for the allergy type responses. I believe that we (those afflicted with what we refer to as PATM) are either emitting basophils or something about our presence causes those around us to create an abundance of basophils. This would explain the common seen reactions of coughing, sneezing, itching, etc.
My longshot theory is that we, from time to time, experience 'phantom nose bleeds'. Basically nothing looks like its running out of our noses, but thats because its so microcopic we cant see anything. It might sound crazy, but the fact of the matter is...there's a lot of **** we cant see with our naked eye.
Anyways I welcome discussion and opinions on this, I love to hear what others have to say even if negative. If you think im insane or crazy, please leave a comment!
