Keeping Clean Keeping clean helps you to stay healthy and stops you from spreading germs. What are germs? Germs are tiny organisms, or living things, that may cause disease (illness). They are so tiny you cannot see them. Many germs are infectious, which means they can be passed from one person to another. Where do germs come from? Germs are all around us. They are in the earth, in the air and in water\ . But if you keep clean and wash regularly, there is no need to worry abou\ t them. How do germs make us ill? There are different types of germs such as bacteria and viruses. Bacteria can make your teeth rot and decay. Viruses give you illnesses \ such as flu, mumps and measles. How does my body keep germs out? Most of your body is covered in skin, which helps to protect you from germs. How do I keep my skin healthy?
