Why do we not decompose when we are alive?

Does our immune system fight off the bacteria that make us rot? I’m just curious after watching someone describe getting trench foot. Thanks 😊

In short yes our immune system and organs protect us constantly. I mean I just think it’s wild that literal hours after you’ve died all the organisms that do decomposition just have their way with our bodies, and that it’s our living cells and organs keeping them at bay.
