innate immunity

Innate immunity is like having a superhero power that helps your body fight off germs and keep you healthy. It’s the body’s natural defense system that helps protect you from getting sick. For example, your skin acts as a barrier to keep out germs, just like a force field that shields you from harm. Your white blood cells are like the body’s own personal army that fights off bad germs when they try to invade your body. One verifiable fact is that newborn babies inherit their innate immunity from their mothers, which helps protect them from infections until their own immune system develops. Innate immunity is always working behind the scenes to keep you safe and healthy, even if you don’t realize it!
