Germs are getting stronger:
be smarter!
(Wash your hands)
Germs make us sick

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by germs (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites)
![Page 5: Handwashing presentation loop st als](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554cc984b4c905cf2a8b499f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Influenza, (the Flu) and rhinovirus, (the Common Cold), are examples of illnesses caused by viral infections

Germs are too small to see with the naked eye. You can’t see them but they are everywhere around us and they can make you sick.

Antibiotic drugs can kill bacteria but they are not effective against viruses.
Antibiotics do not make a flu or a cold better.

Rotavirus, the virus that causes gastrointestinal illness, can survive on clean dry surfaces up to 20 minutes.
Some germs can survive up to three days on moist surfaces.

Many respiratory illnesses are spread by breathing in germs that are in the air or by touching surfaces contaminated with infected saliva or mucus

You can catch a cold by rubbing your nose or eyes after touching someone or something that is contaminated with the cold virus.

Many illnesses are contagious before symptoms appear
An infected person who does not look or feel sick can pass the flu to others before symptoms of illness develop

Germs!You can’t: see them…
feel them…
smell them…
taste them…
But they are everywhere and they can make you sick
What’s a body to do?

According to the CDC, the single most important thing we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading illness to others is to
wash our hands with soap and water.

Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis:
First demonstrated over a hundred years ago that routine hand washing can prevent the spread of disease.

Your hands carry many germs even if you can’t see them.
Many people don’t wash their hands because they look clean.
