What happens when our bodies fight germs?

When our bodies fight germs, it’s like a tiny superhero team working together to keep us healthy.

Germs are little bad guys, like sneaky bugs that want to make you feel icky. They can be in the air, on doorknobs, or even in your lunch!

Your body has special soldiers called white blood cells. These soldiers are like the ones who protect a castle, they jump into action when germs try to sneak in.

Sometimes, you can feel them working hard. That’s why you might get a fever or feel sore, it means your body is fighting off the germs!

Your immune system is like a training ground for these soldiers. Every time you fight off a germ, your body gets better at doing it next time. It's like practicing for a race, the more you practice, the faster you get!

So when germs come to visit, your body says, “Hey, I’ve seen you before!” and kicks them out in no time!
