The immune system responds to toxins through a series of complex mechanisms. Initial exposure to a toxin can trigger an inflammatory response, which is part of the body's innate immunity. This response includes the activation of white blood cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, which attempt to neutralize and eliminate the toxin. If the toxin persists, the adaptive immune system may become involved, with B cells producing antibodies specific to the toxin, and T cells coordinating a more targeted immune response.
