I dette afsnit fortæller Kristine om de grupper af udefrakommende patogener, der kan gøre os syge: bakterier, virus, parasitter og svampe. For hver af dem taler vi om hvad de er og hvordan de inficere os og gør os syge. Malene kæmper med at finde ud af, hvilken hun synes er den klammeste.

Dette afsnit af Sundhedsvidenskabelig Happy Hour er produceret af Malene og Kristine Degn.
