White blood cells can be one of two types; phagocytes or lymphocytes.
Phagocytes bind to germs and engulf them, destroying them with antibodies.
Lymphocytes release antigens to destroy germs. An antigen is a protein which fits a specific pathogen (germ).

Presence of pathogens in the blood?
Blood borne pathogens include Hepatitis B and C, malaria, syphilis and HIV. Such pathogens can be passed through open sores, needle sharing among people, and also through sexual contacts.

How white blood cells neutralize the poison?
There are several different types of white blood cells, each with different functions, but they can be put into two main groups:phagocytes or macrophageslymphocytesPhagocytesPhagocytes can easily pass through blood vessel walls into the surrounding tissue and move towards pathogens or toxins. They then either: ingest and absorb the pathogens or toxinsrelease an enzyme to destroy themHaving absorbed a pathogen, the phagocytes may also send out chemical messages that help nearby lymphocytes to identify the type of antibody needed to neutralise them.
What is the substance made by white blood cells to counteract poisons produced by pathogens called?

How are bloodborne pathogens spread?
Substances present in the blood that can cause infection or disease. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses are bloodborne pathogens since they are spread through blood and can cause a liver infection.
