| I had my blood taken a month before my exams and then again during my exams! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Same, I also had to complete a questionnaire about if I was lonely or unhappy! | |

| The researchers looked at all our blood samples and calculated natural killer cells, I dont know what they are though? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Theyre basically the same as T cells the more you have the more efficient your immune system is. | |

| So what did they find from the 75 of us then? And what did they find from the questionnaire they asked us to do? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| They found that the blood samples during exams were much lower in NK cells than samples before exams. They found if we have a stressful life we become more vulnerable to stressors like exams. | |
