What Are Germs?

💡 Simple Explanation

Germs are teeny tiny living things - so small you need a microscope to see them! There are different types: bacteria (like tiny blobs), viruses (even tinier invaders), and some others. Some germs are actually helpful - you have good bacteria in your tummy that help digest food! But bad germs can make you sick by getting inside your body and making more copies of themselves. That's why we wash our hands - to wash the bad germs down the drain before they get inside!
