Cause illness

Bacteria and viruses cause illness in people. They are small and found everywhere and get into our bodies through the nose, mouth, or eyes.

You can keep from spreading bacteria and viruses to others by covering your mouth and with a tissue when you sneeze or cough.

Hand washing is considered to be the most important method of preventing the spread of infection.
