The foreign invaders are germs. The body provides an excellent environment for germs and microbes. When they do break into a system it is the immune system's job to keep them out or to seek and destroy them. When the immune system is malfunctioning it can cause a variety of diseases, such as allergy, arthritis, cancer or AIDS.
