👉 Tolerated is a term used in medicine and veterinary science to describe the response of an organism to exposure to pathogens. It refers to the process by which an organism's immune system recognizes and responds to these pathogens, allowing it to fight off infection without causing harm to itself or other organisms. In humans, tolerating can refer to being able to tolerate a certain level of pain or discomfort, as well as being able to cope with stress or anxiety.
