Best Answer

your white and red blood cells work to keep you healthy. for example you got a cut then your red and white blood cells would swarm to that area and try their hardest to get rid of bacteria and other harmful things. So yes, white blood cells do eat invaders although I'm not sure that eat is the technical term.
