What is Natural Immunity

Natural immunity describes the state of being able to resist illnesses; such a condition originates in a healthy immune system. This form of immunity is resistance that one inherits from one's parents, in contrast to acquired immunity, which one develops over the course of one's life. Acquired immunity is built up when one suffers from and beats a given illness; memory cells in the immune system essentially learn the illness and remember how to beat it in the future.
