Germs

Germs enter our bodies in different ways to make us sick. Some germs are in the air and we breathe them in. If you get mumps, it's because the germs were in the air. We also catch chicken pox and colds this way. Sometimes we get sick from food or water that is not pure. Typhoid fever and all kinds of food poisoning are caused by these two things. Another way germs enter our bodies is through scratches or sores in our skin. This is how we get rabies or lockjaw. A few diseases are caused by insect bites. Rocky Mountain spotted fever, malaria, and yellow fever are caused this way.
