🦠 How does our body fight germs?

Our body is like a superhero! 🦸‍♂️ It has tiny soldiers called white blood cells that fight germs to keep us healthy. When germs try to make us sick, these soldiers rush to the rescue!

Sometimes, we get a fever 🤒 or a runny nose 🤧—that’s our body working hard to kick the germs out!

Your body has an amazing defense system called the immune system! 🛡️ It includes:

• White blood cells: They hunt and eat germs like tiny Pac-Men! 👾
• Antibodies: Special "tags" that stick to germs so other cells can destroy them.
• Fever: A hot temperature helps slow down germs.

When you get a vaccine 💉, it teaches your body to recognize germs before they make you sick!

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend against germs. Here’s how it works:

1. Innate Immunity: Your first line of defense (skin, mucus, stomach acid).
2. Adaptive Immunity: White blood cells (like T-cells and B-cells) learn to recognize specific germs and create antibodies.
3. Memory Cells: These remember past infections, so your body fights faster next time (why vaccines work!).

When germs invade, your body releases signals (like histamines) that cause inflammation—this helps isolate and destroy the threat.
