Answer:
For example the enzymes in tears and saliva break down bacteria. The stomach produces acid which destroys many of the microbes that enter the body in food and drink. Urine as it flows through the urinary system flushes microbes out of the bladder and urethra.

Explanation:
- Many bacteria that enter the body through food and drink are destroyed by acid produced by the stomach. Urine flushes microorganisms from the bladder and urethra as it travels through the urinary tract.
- Antimicrobial chemicals produced by the body destroy or prevent bacteria from developing.
- If you don't have bottled water, boil some water. Pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and protozoa can all be killed by boiling.
