          1. BACTERIA
            1. VIRUSES
          2. IGNATZ SEMMELWEISS DISCOVERED CLEANING HANDS REDUCED BACTERIA
            1. ANTISEPTICS USED TO KILL PATHOGENS
            2. INFECTIONS PASSED FROM ONE ANOTHER
              1. SNEEZING/COUGHING
                1. FOOD / DRINK
                  1. BREAKS IN SKIN
                  2. BODY
                    1. SKIN > BARRIER
                      1. PREVENT PATHOGENS ENTERING
                      2. LUNGS > MUSCOUS
                        1. TRAPS MICRO-ORGANISMS
                        2. HAIRS > SWEEP
                          1. REMOVED FROM BODY > COUGH / SNEEZE / VOMIT
                            1. STOMACH > ACID

                                2. PRODUCE ANTI-BODIES
                                  1. SPECIAL CHEMICAL > SPECIFIC TO EACH PATHOGEN
                                    1. IF SAME PATHOGEN ATTACKS, ANTI-BODIES PRODUCE RAPIDLY
                                    2. PRODUCE ANTI-TOXINS
                                      1. NEUTRALISE PATHOGEN
                                  2. CUTS > PATHOGENS MAY ENTER
