Because of strong immune system our body is normally fighting off microbes. We have cells which are specialised to kill the pathogenic microbes. These cells are active when infecting microbes enter the body and if they are successful in removing the pathogen, we remain disease– free. So even if we are exposed to infectious microbes, it is not necessary that we suffer from diseases.

Our body is exposed to infectious microbes and even gets infection. However, our strong immune system normally fights and kill microbes. The specialized cells of immune system become active to form antibodies which successfully remove the pathogens. We, thus, remain disease free.

An infectious microbe is able to cause a disease only if the immune system of the infected person is unable to put proper defence against it. Many persons have strong immune system or have acquired immunity against the pathogen or the intensity of pathogenic attack is quite mild. As a result, despite exposure to infective microbe, the person will not catch the disease.
