Ahh…aaahhhhchooo! That sneeze(打喷嚏) is uncovered, and the
germs(细菌) fly through the air. But have you ever wondered about the germs in your body? They are small organisms(有机体) that live inside us. It's impossible to keep them out of our bodies. They are so tiny that we don't even know they are coming inside our bodies. Only when we begin to feel uncomfortable, we know they have made us sick.
They come out in a sneeze, a cough, or a breath. They can also be spread by saliva(唾液), sweat(汗液), or blood.For example, a person may touch his or her nose and then touch a tap in a public restroom. If someone else touches that tap right away, he or she may pick up these germs.
How can you protect yourself from germs? Washing your hands is the most important way. Soap and water are germs' enemies.This is why it's so important to wash your hands often, and you'd better wash the hands for about twenty seconds every time.
This means getting enough rest and not being too tired. It also means eating good foods and exercising. These are germ-fighting secrets!
