%s fluctuate: Alternate example: scoop a thimble of sand and count grains. Repeat several times. The numbers will all vary, yet be close. If nothing has changed w/you between tests, expect little variation like described. If caught cold / stressed / other--see #s of polys / lymphs / eos / baso / monos all shift amongst themselves. They are specialists in immune defense, called on when needed.
