Short term stressors cause an immediate increase in epinephrine and nonrepinephrine (means the hormones that make the heart beat feet and makes the feet cold). Cortisol makes you more affected to disease because in white blood cells cortisol turns on TCF to makes its own proteins when its job is to suppress another protein. Because cortisol hold back the immune alertness of the white blood calls it makes people more vulnerable to diseases.
