Explain how general immune reactions differ from specific immune reactions?!
Question: This is basically an educated guess, or an uneducated one, if you prefer.
A general immune reaction would be something like allergies
A specific immune reaction would be a reaction to say the flu, or a cold.

General immune reactions (aka nonspecific) occur when ANY foreign substance/particle enters the body. The body does not recognize it or make specific antibodies to it. On the other hand, specific immune responses will create a memory of the invader. A good example of this is chicken pox. Most people only get it once, right? Thats because the first time you get it, your body kind of makes a record of it. The second time you are exposed, those good old antibodies come out to fight cause they know exactly what it is.
