infections
Infections occur when harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi enter the body and multiply, leading to illness or disease. The body's immune system works to fight off these invaders and restore health. Infections can be transmitted through various means such as direct contact, airborne droplets, contaminated food or water, or insect bites. Prevention methods include good hygiene practices, vaccinations, and antibiotics when necessary.
