No. Many organisms are harmless, and the body will produce antibodies since the organisms are seen as foreign.

Many pathogens (harmful organisms) may not cause significant disease in many people. An example would be the poliovirus - in some people it causes paralysis; in others it causes minor illness, in others it causes no symptoms. In all cases, the person develops antibodies.

Vaccination exposes the person to the antigens without the pathogen being present, and so antibodies are formed before the exposure, and this process does not result in illness.

Can you get sick from breathing on someone?

if the person is sick, and you are close enough to the person, then yes you can get sick. But if you are sick and you breath on someone, then that person could get sick. If you or the person who you are breathing on are both healthy, then it would be hard to get sick, in fact if someone is going to get sick, then it will be the person who you are breathing on.


What protects the body from free antigens?

The immune system protects the body from free antigens. It does so through the production of antibodies that recognize and neutralize antigens, as well as through the activation of immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, that can directly destroy cells infected with antigens. Additionally, the immune system has memory cells that can recognize and respond more quickly if the same antigen is encountered again in the future.


Will you get sick from drinking water with ecoli?

Fresh bottled water should not make a person sick. Bottled water that is exposed to excessive heat temperatures may be harmful because of the toxins from the plastic bottle released into the water. A person would not feel the symptoms immediately making them sick although long term there could be effects.
