Is it accurate to understand this as putting the lungs' immune response into a heightened state of response/alert? It doesn't sound like it's training the immune system about specific pathogens (or families of them). If that's true, why doesn't the body just do this already — is there a cost associated?
Autoimmune diseases are most often caused by an overactive immune system. I don't expect this development to go well for most people in the long term.
