When anything harmful touches the tiny fibers, either the sensitive parts in the organs or the insensitive parts in the internal organs, the tissues at once contract, putting on such a shape and character that they cannot be harmed, even if this may cause a painful, offensive or unpleasant sensation. The same principle applies to the attempts of evil spirits when they are trying to harm the good.
