    It wasn’t that silly because it was actually a damn good analogy, but:

    When I was 4? 6? IDR, my mum taught me that there were “little dragons” in our blood, chomping on everything not belonging to the body. It was her way to explain the immune system, based on a simplified version of how macrophages work.

    I’m almost 40 and the picture of little dragons running in the blood still inhabits my mind.

      From now on I’m referring to my wife’s malfunctioning immune cells as her Insane Blood Dragons
