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.
Our body has to change itself in order to more effectively fight a virus as part of our immune response, this is the cause of most unpleasant symptoms, ie fever, dizziness, congestion, tiredness, and swelling.

Many 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.
A 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
Bacteria can cause infections which causes fever and the creation of pus.
Once the bacteria or virus is inside your body it will reproduce quickly. Bacteria produce toxins. Some can directly damage your cells. Viruses kill the cell as they reproduce.
Not all do any more than all bacteria do. They are just in the wrong place.

Fungi isn't a virus but some can make you very ill. While some bacteria can carry viruses.
What is health sanitation?
Keeping public areas clean and free from bacteria and viruses that can make people ill.
What poison is produced by bacteria and viruses to make us feel ill?
Toxins can be produced by certain bacteria and viruses to cause illness in humans. Bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin, while viruses like influenza can produce proteins that exacerbate symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. These toxins can disrupt normal bodily functions and lead to symptoms of illness.
How do tiny organisms like bacteria and viruses make a large person like us 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)
What are viruses that make us ill called?
Pathogenic viruses cause illnesses and disease.
Why do viruses make us feel ill?
Viruses make us feel ill by invading our cells and causing damage to our tissues. This triggers an immune response that can lead to symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and fatigue as our body fights off the infection. Additionally, the toxins produced by viruses can contribute to the symptoms of illness.
Who will make you feel better when your ill?
A doctor will make you feel better when your ill because he/she mite give you medicine.
How does bacteria make us ill?
Because you have aids
What is the lethal airborne dose of an Ebola virus?
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')
What kind of micro-organism can make us ill?
Microorganisms that can make us ill include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These microorganisms can cause a range of illnesses such as bacterial infections, viral infections like the flu, fungal infections like athlete's foot, and parasitic infections like malaria. Proper hygiene and sanitation practices can help prevent the spread of these microorganisms.
How can common skin bacteria make people ill?
common skin bacteria could make someone ill because it could cause infections for example someone might not of washed their hands properly.
Does bacteria make us ill?
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.
