They can’t be seen by the naked eye but they have the power to cause illness and even death, germs are found everywhere, in huge quantities and need to be controlled.
Germs are microscopic organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi that can invade the body without being seen; they are responsible for causing anything from the common cold and influenza to gastro-intestinal infections.
Germs have an easy pathway to a new host: an infected person coughs, sneezes or simply
touches their nose, they open a door; a healthy, uninfected person opens that same door and then touches their nose, mouth, eye or perhaps they touch the food they are about to eat, the germs have then gained entry to a new host and that host becomes ill, and so the cycle continues.
To prevent the spread of germs the pathway of infection needs to be broken and the easiest way to do this is effective hand washing with soap such as Lifebuoy, the World’s leading health soap, can help combat the spread of germs; a range of hand washing soaps, shampoos and body wash products are available from Bestbuy Maldives.
Every year, 2 million children die before their fifth birthday because of diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia. Following this simple hand washing technique could help stop this tragic loss of childrens’ lives.
