Did Europeans get sick with diseases that were common in America because they had no immunities to them?

by Clean-Engineer143

The Europeans had immunities to the "typical" diseases like smallpox, bubonic plague, etc. But if there were diseases in America did they get sick and incredibly ill from them? I've heard stories of Europeans getting sick with diseases but I always assumed it was from the sea, salmonella, etc.
