6. Finger Facts
The number of germs on your finger tips double after using the toilet.
Around 17% of women and 31% of men admit they don’t wash their
hands regularly after using the toilet.
Germs from raw food can cause sickness, diarrhoea and fever.
An American study found that when tested only 6% of bank notes were
germ-free. The rest carried bugs including those that can cause
pneumonia.
There can be about a gram of poo in a pair of dirty pants!
Bacteria are too small to be seen without a microscope. Most are
about 1/1000th of a millimetre, which is very tiny!
A typical bacteria can divide every 20 minutes.
Bacteria from a sneeze can be passed from person to person in the air,
by touch or by surface contact.

8. Bacteria and Virus
Bacteria
A bacteria is a simple microbe
made of just one cell.
Many bacteria have a long
spinning tail that helps them
move.
Bacteria can cause illnesses
such as sore throats, whooping
cough and food poisoning.
Virus
Viruses are the smallest of all
microbes.
Viruses need a living host cell
to allow them to reproduce and
survive.
Viruses can cause illnesses such
as chickenpox, cold sores and
the flu.
