• Mycoplasmas evade the immune system and antibiotics by hiding inside calcium-based biofilm structures. — 10 Causes of Exhaustion (Fatigue)
• Mycoplasmas become opportunistically active when cortisol is elevated under stress, exploiting the same immune suppression pathway as viruses. — 10 Causes of Exhaustion (Fatigue)
