  11. The Germ Story • Germs are living things that are too small to see with just our eyes. • There are many different germs, some germs are good and some germs are bad. • Germs can be found in many different places.

  12. Germs can make us sick So Streps can cause kidney problems, called nephritis, and heart problems. The heart problems are the cause of rheumatic heart disease. Itchy skin from scabies can cause skin sores. For example, we can get Streptococcal diseases If children have lots of sores infected with Streps, their immune system can stop working properly. The antibodies that are made to fight the Streps can cause problems in the child’s heart and kidneys. Sores can be infected with the germ (or bacteria) called Streptococcal pyogenes(Streps). When a sore gets Streps in it, the body makes antibodies to fight the Streps.

  13. How germs spread • Germs grow best in rubbish bins, toilets and puddles.
