Cytokine storm can take place when the body's immune system overreacts, releasing high levels of inflammatory cytokines. This can happen in response to infections, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions, leading to excessive inflammation and potentially causing harm to tissues and organs.

Taking Vitamin C should help strengthen your immune system and protect you against getting the swine flu. In the 1918 outbreak of Spanish Flu, it appears that the flu virus itself caused Cytokine storms, not Vitamin C or other products that were being taken by the victims. The nature of a Cytokine storm itself better explains this. When an intruder (the flu virus) enters the body, white blood cells sense the intruder and send T-cells and macrophages to attack the intruder. If a particular molecule called a Cytokine activates the immune cells at the site of the intrusion, too many immune cells can be called to the infected area, causing tissue around the infected area to become inflamed. If a Cytokine storm happens in the lungs, it can cause permanent lung damage. A prolonged Cytokine storm can shut down breathing and cause death.

Inflammation is very tightly controlled by the body so that it doesn't become a pathologic condition itself. Uncontrolled inflammation is actually the hypothesized cause of the severe mortality rate of the Spanish influenza outbreak of 1918-1919. A large proportion of healthy young adults became ill with the Spanish flu and died rapidly from the build-up of blood and fluid in their lungs. Scientists have now reconstructed the 1918-1919 influenza virus and it causes a cytokine storm in the body, which results in rapid and uncontrolled propagation of the inflammatory response. The cytokine storm, rather than the virus, resulted in the deaths of the ferrets they were experimenting on.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine produced to stimulate macrophages and induce cell death in cancer cells. It plays a role in the immune response against cancer by promoting inflammation and cell death in tumor cells.

Instead of killing mostly infants and elderly, it had little effect on them and killed mostly young adults. A group rarely significantly affected by flu. It also caused significant neurological problems in some survivors, which is also rare for flu.
