Question: why do viruses attack the body??

Probash Chowdhury answered on 24 Mar 2011:

Viruses live to live and reproduce. They need nutrients, warmth and moisture (like most living organisms), viruses find this inside other living cells – like ours. Viruses don’t choose to attack our bodies – or do it because they hate humans, they do it to live. Our bodies don;t like the viruses and know they are bad for us and so our body attacks the viruses. The viruses when they reproduce and live in our cells, use up all the nutrients that’s meant for the cells and “eat” the cells too. they bust open the cells when they want to move to the next cell. All this causes damage and disease to our body.
