About this title

Synopsis

Helping to dispel the fog of mystery that often shrouds the microbial world, this useful guide explains the ways in which the body defends itself against infection and the tactics used by disease-causing microbes to evade those defenses. In the pages of this book, readers will learn how to pick the right disinfectant product, how to take antibiotics so that they are most effective, how to distinguish between bacteria and viruses, how to avoid infection, and the truth about vaccines. As useful as it is interesting, this guide is a great resource for individuals interested in learning about how their bodies keeps them safe from infection and what they can do to aid their bodies in that cause.
