Why would most bacteria not fear white blood cells?
Fear is a type of emotion which is present only in organisms possessing a nervous system. Bacteria do not have a nervous system. In fact, they are a single cell living as an entity. Thus, they do not fear white blood cells. Bacteria do not even feel pain, etc when they are killed by antibiotics, chemical actions etc. So I advice you to have healthy food daily, drink a lot of water and be disease free by killing as many pathogenic bacteria as you can. ;-)
