They can be one of the factors. There is a term called molecular mimicry. Some antigens on the parasite or bacteria resemble our own antigens, so when we make antibody against them, those antibodies start destroying our own antigens too. For more guidance take a personal instant consultation. Hope that helps. You can even consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
