The Top 5 Ways how Germs Spread

When exposed to a harmful variety of bacteria, fungi or virus; these enter our body through the bodily openings like the ears, nose, mouth, pores on the skin, etc. While our body immediately counter attacks these strands, sometimes it is not enough and we fall ill.

2. From our Hands: Unclean hands contain millions of germs, which can get transferred to the food we prepare or eat, thereby entering our body. This can occur in situations where we did not wash our hands after using the toilet, touching public surfaces, or handling patients. You can use an antibacterial soap to keep away germs on hands and for hygienic results. Use a product that offers protection against a wide variety of germs, such as the Dettol Original Bar Soap.

3. Contact with Food: Bacteria and fungus might be present in raw meats and uncooked vegetables, which can transfer to you when you prepare a meal. Also, the food at certain restaurants might be contaminated.

4. From Infants: When we change a toddler's diaper, bacteria are transferred to us. Sometimes parents forget to wash their hands after diaper change, which can lead to health issues.

5. Contact with Pets: The pet friendly bacteria might not be on your side. Wash your hands after handling pets.
