Yes, there are many. Under the skin is a layer of subcutaneous fat. Toxins that circulate in the blood stream are shunted to the fat cells if our liver cannot get rid of them in a timely fashion. They may harbor there forever and cause no problems. BUT, if our immune system wrongly recognizes it as an enemy that it can kill, it may fire an immune response against it, damaging (inflammatory process) a lot of collateral tissue in the process. This is what we call an autoimmune disorder.
The subcutaneous fat layer as well as the fascial layer that envelopes our muscles is a common site of attack.
Hope this helps.
