cytokine storm

Medical slang for a severe immune reaction in which the body generates an over production of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines) and releases them into the blood too rapidly. A cytokine storm is on the opposite end of the spectrum from an under active response by the immune system.

Treatments during a COVID-19 pandemic may be very different depending on one's body's response, especially since some of the most vulnerable over respond with a cytokine storm or under respond because of a hypo immune disorder. So before taking fish tank cleaner you need to be able to get a professional to tell the difference between a cytokine storm and a hypo immune disorder, and get your medicine prescription from a read medical doctor and pharmacy vs politician-pet store.

A cytokine storm is typically activated by an infection, dysfunctional autoimmune conditions, and/or disease. Symptoms include severe fever, nausea, headache, inflammation (eg rash - redness/swelling), rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, trouble breathing , and fatigue. In a mild cytokine storm the response may be temporary but a severe storm may cause multiple organ failure.

A severe cytokine storm is also know as hypercytokinemia.
The problem of a cytokine storm is compounded such as the response to the flu when lung inflammation caused by the rapid response of the immune system and fluid buildup lead to respiratory distress, especially when contaminated by a secondary bacterial such as pneumonia.

Snot Storm

When you are talking to someone and you sneeze, getting snot all over your elbow and face. Then you keep your elbow above your nose and awkwardly walk away like a fucking idiot from the person you were talking too until you get tissues. But when there are no tissues you run away to the bathroom or try to play it off. (Typically happens in School).

Storm flap

A storm flap is a piece of fabric or other material that is attached to the front of a coat or jacket to cover and protect the main zipper or other fastening. Storm flaps are often found on raincoats and other outerwear, and are designed to help keep water out and keep the wearer warm and dry. They are typically positioned vertically along the front of the coat, and are often secured with buttons, snaps, or other fasteners. Storm flaps can also be found on the back of some coats and jackets, and are used to provide additional protection against wind and rain.
"I was really glad I had a storm flap on my raincoat when I got caught in the downpour on the way to the store. Without it, I might have ended up looking like a drowned rat, which wouldn't have been a great look for my Zoom meeting later. Instead, I arrived at the store looking stylish and ready to grab my groceries in style."
