Viruses often create toxins which cause symptoms. Even in the absence of toxins, the immune system in the body flares up to fight the invaders, and that causes a lot of the symptoms. One particularly nasty thing that viruses do is to take over healthy cells. They enter the cells and reprogram the DNA to produce more virus cells.

∙ 8y agoMany bacteria live in your body, and most of them do not make you sick.
The ones that do make you sick do so because of the fact that they use your body's resources to live and reproduce, and also because their waste products are toxic.
Similarly with viruses - viruses reproduce by invading and reprogramming your body's cells to make more viruses. This harms your body because it destroys its cells.

∙ 9y agoA virus is a type of pathogen, but not a regular cell. its what is known as a prokaryote. That is a cell with no organelles that have to be replicated when it is growing. the bacteria attacks the white blood cells causing you to feel tired and drained. that's why colds don't go away in a few hours, they reproduce so quickly that within minutes you probably have hundreds in your body, causing your white blood cells to work harder

It is because of our body's white blood cells battling and trying to rid your blood stream of the virus.
toxins
Fungi isn't a virus but some can make you very ill. While some bacteria can carry viruses.
Keeping public areas clean and free from bacteria and viruses that can make people ill.
By reproducing and multiplying rapidly. and they make us ill by attacking our cells and converting their normal functions to producing the virus.so they get your own cells to do their dirty work too (this applies for viruses)
Pathogenic viruses cause illnesses and disease.
The bodies in a fight back modeBecause the virus is affecting your body by shutting down parts of the body.
A doctor will make you feel better when your ill because he/she mite give you medicine.
Because you have aids
There is NO "no effect dose" dose or "lethal effect" dose for viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms, because they make you ill by multiplying at first in number ('growth')
In general, microorganisms that can make you sick are termed "germs" by the non-medical world. Bacteria that can cause disease or sickness are termed "pathogens." There are way too many to list here and certain strains of microorganisms can be harmful while other strains of that same organism may not be.
common skin bacteria could make someone ill because it could cause infections for example someone might not of washed their hands properly.
Well there are some bacteria that make you very ill an some that actually are good for you you know bacterias are non living and they eat off your cell but it's a complication with the virus because it is A living and non living bacteria.
