 An over-exuberant Stage Five reaction can happen in latter stages of the MP, even in the absence of antibiotics, as the immune system becomes increasingly self-sustaining and uninhibited by bacterial ligands. As this happens, antimicrobial peptides begin to successfully target the more entrenched pockets of bacterial infection in lungs, organs or joints, especially those encased by fibrotic tissue, adhesions, or scarring. Surges in immunopathology can be caused by physical stress on fibrotic tissue, by physical exertion, excessive coughing, or //exposure to sunlight// An over-exuberant Stage Five reaction can happen in latter stages of the MP, even in the absence of antibiotics, as the immune system becomes increasingly self-sustaining and uninhibited by bacterial ligands.
