[ It makes feel both really smart and knowledgeable...a really surprised? Behind the assholeish smugness and all that. It's really hard fro him to fathom what it must be like for this sort of thing not to be basic everyday knowledge.
He won't lord it over Abelas's head or anything like that, but he'll definitely sound just a little bit incredulous that he somehow isn't aware of all this. ]
It's...yikes, okay. Let's just start with the fact that the stuff that makes you sick are these really tiny organisms that attack your body. Those are viruses and bacteria. When your body fights them off it makes stuff called antibodies which basically make it so that you can never catch that kind of illness again.
Humans have a lot of those, because we get sick a lot. We're sort of used to it? But we also have a ton of different medicines to treat that sort of thing too, and vaccines. Those are basically synthetic antibodies made in a lab so that you don't have to get sick to never catch it again.
