How do we share germs?
![]()
Germs are everywhere, but
they are so tiny that we cannot see them. There are good germs and bad germs. Bacteria and
viruses are two kinds of germs that can make us sick.
This is one way that germs
can enter your body:
a student sneezes on your computer,
germs fly out of the mouth and onto your computer,
you touch that same computer,
your eye itches and you rub your eye,
now germs enter your body through your eye,
a few days later you feel sick,
you caught that student's cold.
Here are some other ways
germs can get into your body:
You can breath in germs from outside and
other people.
Germs get in the skin from cuts and scrapes.
You may eat food that has bad germs growing in it.
