The Spread Of Germs

There are FIVE common ways that germs spread
Today we are going to explore a further look into how we
commonly spread germs.

First Common Way We Spread Germs

Nose, mouth, or eyes to hands to others:
Germs spread because often times people sneeze or cough in their hands
and do not wash their hands
Rubbing of the eye can cause germs to spread

Second Common Way We Spread Germs

Hands to food
Usually germs are spread from unclean hands to food by an infected person
who has prepared the food and did not wash his or her hands after using the
bathroom.
Germs are then passed to the person who is eating the food

Third Common Way We Spread Germs

Infected child to hands to other children
When a child is sick or after using the bathroom and did wash his or her
hands can spread germs to someone.

Fourth Common Way We Spread Germs

Animals to people
Not washing your hands after pettiing animals or touching any surfaces they
come into contact with can spread germs.

Fifth Common Way We Spread Germs

Food to hands to food
Preparing raw foods and touching surfaces or preparing other foods can
spread germs from food to food
Remember, if germs are spread from food to food and you eat these items,
you too have came in contact with these germs.
