Germs are teeny, tiny living things that can cause disease. Germs can make you sneeze, cough, and have a runny nose. When you’re sick you can easily spread your germs to others or onto surfaces that people touch, and then other people may get sick! Research shows a single sneeze can send around 100,000 germs into the air at speeds up to 100 miles per hour. Even though we can’t see germs, we know they are there. In fact, germs are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. Good habits like hand washing can help keep those cooties away, and then everyone stays happy and healthy.

Germs in real life are very small and can’t even be seen

with a magnifying glass.

Those germs can really fly!

Lots of common objects attract germs, like door handles,

your backpack, and the bottom of a shoe. Did you know cell phones

can have more harmful germs than even a toilet seat?

If you have germs on your own hands, you can spread them to everything you touch and everyone you meet!

Yuk!

Germs Make Me SquirmNot all germs are bad, but some can make you sick and cause things like an ear infection, strep throat, and pneumonia, just to name a few! The common cold catches all of us from time to time. Kids are around each other all day during school and are not afraid to share their germs.

There are four types of germs.

Bacteria: These germs are one-celled organisms that live off their environment. Bacteria can cause illnesses like strep throat and pneumonia.

Viruses: They have to live off a host, like a person or an animal, in order to survive. Viruses can cause illnesses like the flu, chickenpox, or, most recently, the coronavirus disease.

Fungi: Fungi are multicelled organisms that are similar to plants but can get their food only from people, animals, or plants. They can cause a rash, such as athlete’s foot.

Protozoa: They are one-celled organisms that like to live where it is moist. Some can cause illnesses like diarrhea and nausea.

You’ve probably heard adults and others talking about the coronavirus disease, or COVID-19. The best way to avoid getting sick is by staying far away from it. It spreads from person to person, so it is important to keeping your distance from other people, called social distancing. But there’s good news! By social distancing and taking some other simple steps, you can keep that pesky coro-navirus and other germs far away from you.

Some Germ Preventions

Take these precautions even if you DON’T feel sick:

• Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. Wash them before eating, before you touch food or help in the kitchen, after coming in from outside, after playing with pets, after using the bathroom, and after sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose.

• When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used.

• Do not share a drink from the same glass, can, or bottle as anyone else.

• For a stronger immune system, get plenty of sleep, be physically active, drink plenty of water, and eat a well-balanced diet every day.
