There's good and bad bacteria, so assume there's good and bad germs.
"Germs" is just a word for microrganisms that live everywhere. There are good and bad bacteria. The bad ones are the ones that make us sick (pathogens) and the good ones are the ones that naturally occur on, in, and around us that actually help us.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers. These products actually kill good bacteria that's taking up space on your skin, keeping the pathogens at bay. You're actually making yourself more prone to infection. I used antibacterial soap for the longest time until it allowed ringworm to form on me.

Antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers were originally made for doctors to use (doctors have to work with sick and injured people, so keeping both good and bad bacteria away from open wounds/weak immune systems is a must). People soon got into this mindset that ALL bacteria are bad, and we have to sanitize ourselves. This is simply not the case, and most people actually benefit from getting a lot of "germs" around and in them when they're younger, because it builds up their immune system and makes us stronger and more able to fight off an infection.

Good germs, also known as probiotics, are beneficial bacteria that help support a healthy digestive system and immune function. They can be found in fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi, as well as in some supplements. Consuming probiotics can help maintain a balanced gut microbiome and improve overall health.
