A biological process where an organism becomes sensitive or reactive to its own cellular components or antigens, often leading to autoimmune conditions.
From auto- (self) + sensitization (making sensitive). Medical term describing how the immune system can turn against the body's own tissues.
Autosensitization is when your immune system bullies your own body—it's what happens in autoimmune diseases where the body's defenses literally attack themselves!
