This depends on the bacteria, I’m sure, but many of them produce toxins. Toxins that kill people.

Interestingly, usually our body is actually what kills us. See, our body has to take drastic measures to defend itself sometimes. Measures like intentionally overheating. It does this because, even if its defense measures *could* kill us, surrendering to the bacteria is certain death.
