Hi Rarity - Apparently sometimes our bodies can be fighting infections that we're not even aware of and the fact that the immune system is fighting back by raising blood counts is good. I know when I have an infection my WBC/Neut count and often platelets too increase significantly, and I'm encouraged to know that there's still some functionality there.
