Pathogens can bypass the body's first line of defense, which includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, through various mechanisms. They may produce enzymes that degrade these barriers, use specialized structures to penetrate them, or exploit breaches in the skin, such as cuts or abrasions. Additionally, some pathogens can evade detection by mimicking host cells or suppressing immune responses, allowing them to establish infection despite the body's protective measures.

Why would your skin being damaged to expose large area of raw tissue underneath make you less able to cope with pathogens?

When the skin is damaged and raw tissue is exposed, it creates an entry point for pathogens like bacteria and viruses to enter the body. The immune system has to work harder to defend against these invaders, which can weaken the body's overall ability to cope with pathogens and increase the risk of infection. Additionally, the damaged skin loses its protective barrier function, further compromising the body's defense against pathogens.
