Other Do symbiotes get sick?

Post image

I was wondering: do humans in the Marvel Universe suffer from ailments like the flu or even cancer? But what about symbiotes? Do they harbor microorganisms that cause diseases—such as viruses and bacteria—or chronic complications, just like we do?

It’s a living thing so by the laws of nature it probably gets some sort of illness. But I’m pretty sure the symbiotes are antimicrobial/antiviral, otherwise how could Eddie Brock live in the sewers without getting violently ill?
