Besides pathogens, what else can cause disease?
dsek
pathogens are bacterium, viruses, parasites, unicellular organisms, fungi, or prions that can cause disease in humans. that sounds like everything that can cause a disease but what else does?
Genetic disorder, like MS or others….
A genetic disorder is a condition caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes. Cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, cancers, ect
KNOWLEDGE: Disease education is about taking control of your health, helping you clearly understand what are the main causes of disease. All diseases are dysfunctions of your bodily and cellular systems.
Auto-Immune Disease. Anything such as Diabetes, Polymyositis, Lupus, etc. Where the body causes the disease itself. Remember the opposite of ease is dis-ease.
Disease is defined as any deviation from health. With that in mind there are only two sources of disease, besides pathogens, that I can think of off the top of my head. They are an unhealthy lifestyle and environmental factors.
An unhealthy lifestyle could be thinks like plaque build up in the arteries leading to heart problems. Environmental factors could be things like long term exposure to UV light resulting in skin cancer.
Malnutrition and genetics.
