Best Answer

Pathogens invade body cells for reproduction. This kills the cells, leading to inflammation as well as an immune response. Fever is the result of body temperature increasing to flush out bacteria. Some germs are worse than others.

There is a difference between viruses and bacteria.

Virus - a parasite that invades body for survival but is unaffected by antibiotics. It is usually dormant, but awakens in the presence of living tissue.

Bacteria - always alive; searches for living tissue in which it reproduces and gains energy.

When you wash your hands do all the germs come off?

No, not all the germs come off because there are billions and billions and even trillions of types of germs that can exist on a single doorknob, and if soap is applied, about only 99% of the germs go away because soap is not a killer of all the trillions of germs there are. There are some that are not affected by soap, and if soap is used to often, the germs get used to the soap and build up an immunity to it, therefore when you use soap to often, soap will eventually not affect the germs at all.

Are there more germs on the inside of buildings or on the outside and does temperature affect the growth of germs?

There are typically more germs found inside buildings due to the higher concentration of people and surfaces that can harbor germs. Temperature can affect the growth of germs as most germs thrive at temperatures similar to the human body (around 98.6°F or 37°C). Colder temperatures can slow down germ growth, while warmer temperatures can promote it.
