What Happens When a Virus Enters Your Body?

When a virus enters the body, it's quickly detected as a foreign invader. The immune system responds by tagging these viral cells with an "eat me" signal. This signal alerts the body's defense cells to identify and destroy the invaders. White blood cells, such as macrophages, then engulf and digest these marked cells, effectively eliminating them. This process is a crucial part of the body's innate defense mechanism against viral infections, helping to prevent the spread of the virus within the body and aiding in the overall immune response.
