04 Worked example 1 — classifying a defence
- Question: Sweat on the skin kills many microbes because it is salty.
- Is this innate or acquired immunity?
- Reasoning: The salt works against any microbe, it is present before any infection, and it needs no previous exposure and creates no memory.
- Therefore it is innate (natural, non-specific) immunity.
