The germs release a type of toxic in their bodies to try to kill the white cells, making you sick. Different types of germs release different types of toxic, making different kinds of diseases. White cells try to take the germs in, squeezing them to death, which tires your heart. Medicine can help kill germs, too. Sleep also works on letting your white cells rest, and food helps your white cells get more energy.
