Could Immuse be worsening reactions to bug bites?

Just the title. Completely anecdotal, but I seem to have had worse allergic reactions to bug bites since beginning to take immuse.
Thanks for any input.

Yeah for sure, makes sense. Don’t want this post to be misconstrued as trying to imply that immuse is in fact doing this, as it is purely speculation from my anecdote that may not be connected at all. Just wanted to verify my thought process that it is plausible that is could, for my process of elimination (as well as for any other input) since it is a potentially immune modulating substance. But yeah it does seem unlikely.
Still on this topic, are immune responses generally higher like this at times where the body has higher inflammation levels? (thinking drinking could also be a contributor) Or any other suggestions of compounds that could help with reactions like this?
Thanks!

It's certainly a plausible theory. I wouldn't write it completely off, but I have not seen anyone else report it yet. Also, localized immune responses are definitely greater in inflammatory states. When your body has higher inflammatory cytokines from something like drinking, responses to other inflammatory mediators can be overzealous. Alcohol also impairs the body's ability to regulate inflammation. It's one of the reasons people get puffy after drinking. The other issue is that these dysfunctional inflammatory responses don't make your immune function better. They make it worse.
