How are germs mostly spread
From Audiopedia
Many illnesses are spread by germs that pass from one person to another. Here are some of the most common ways that germs are spread:
- by touching an infected person
- through the air (for example, when someone coughs, germs in small drops of spit (saliva) can spread to other people or objects)
- through clothes, cloths, or bed covers
- through insect bites or animal bites
- by eating contaminated food
