[QUOTE="pinball1970, post: 6065171, member: 551850"] Pathogens cause diseases in different ways, they can damage cells, tissues, organs as a result of their own biochemical reproductive cycles.Some secrete toxins Clostridium botulinum (botulism) Clostridium perfringens (gangrene)Some use our cells, structural proteins, cell membranes etc as a substrate, reproduce and damage those or our own immune response kills the infected cells which causes inflammation pain and cell death.By “ignorant” or “sleeping” I assume you mean never having encountered that particular antigen? Or immunosuppressed individuals? (Chemo patients, HIV patients, transplant patients) First time vs second (and third) time immune response is the basis of vaccination.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell#Memory'][U]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell#Memory[/U][/URL]Transplant patients who are taking immunosuppressant drugs can be susceptible to some cancers [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24831943'][U]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24831943[/U][/URL]Absolutely tonnes on the net about this.
