Infection susceptibility

Infection susceptibility refers to how likely a person is to get sick from bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Factors like a weakened immune system, chronic health conditions, age, or lifestyle choices can increase this risk. When the immune system isn't functioning optimally, it has a harder time fighting off infections, making illness more likely or prolonged. Proper hygiene, nutrition, vaccinations, and managing health conditions can help reduce susceptibility. Understanding your individual risk helps in taking proactive steps to stay healthier and prevent infections.
