What are germs?

Germs (also referred to as “pathogens”) are microscopic organisms that can cause illness and infections if they get into our bodies.

The most common types of germs are:

• Bacteria (e.g. Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning)
• Viruses (e.g. Rhinovius, which causes the common cold)
• Fungi (e.g. Trichophyton, which can cause athlete’s foot)
• Parasites (e.g. Giaridia Intestinalis, which can cause diarrhoea)

How are germs spread?

Bacteria and fungi can survive anywhere warm and moist in your home. But viruses are different. Around one hundredth the size of a bacterium, viruses need to be inside a living host in order to reproduce. It’s through this process that they can cause disease.

Common sources of germ spread:

• Contaminated food and water
• Regularly touched surfaces like doorknobs, taps, TV remotes and telephones
• Cleaning and waste areas like bins, sinks and toilets
• Household waste like used or gone-off food, used tissues and soiled nappies
• Cleaning items like cleaning cloths, sponges and dirty toothbrushes
• Pets and other animals like rodents and flies
• People
