Eosinophils are produced in the bone marrow, along with other white blood cells

and red blood cells. Eosinophils cells participate in engulfing and killing bacteria and other microorganisms such as parasites. They discharge destructive enzyme to damage the invader.

Eosinophils release chemicals that destroy parasitic worms and their eggs. They also engulf and destroy foreign cells like pollen, and animal dander.
