Why are illnesses caused by viruses more difficult for doctors to treat then illnesses caused by bacteria?
Note: THIS IS A GUESS. I'M NOT SURE, SO DOCS: PLEASE DON'T MOB ME!Because you can't kill viruses. I'll explain. Bacteria are alive. You can kill them and they will go away. However, viruses are like robots; you can shut them off, but they can come back again over and over and over and they never stop coming back. EVER. :( Thus, as you can't kill them, they are harder to stop.

biology is the study of living organisms. in lots of the cases, diseases are caused by other living organisms (except for viruses which are classified as micro-organisms). viruses will kill cells in our body, making us sick, but mostly the sick feeling and fever is just our body trying to fend it off. fungi will also grow on living cells, using up their share of nutritions, therefore killing it. bacterias, although some are helpful also cause disease in our body by giving off toxins (poison, acid)
