Reply:A lot of the time it's already in your body. if you are weakened or practice poor hygiene, they move in and become infected. Bacteria live in your guy for example, and you need it to digest food, but if you accidenilty get some in the wrong area it will make you sick. There are around 300 types in your mouth, and several on your skin, and most of them are harmless or can even be benficial but keeping stronger dangerous bacteria away.





Your skin is the main defense and if it is cut it can be a biggie. Yur nose, mouth, eyes etc have defenses against these invaded, but it doesn't always work. If your immune system is weak it can't fight them off, and you'll get sick. Your stomach acid can destroy some, but one or two may excape. Some also may not be affected.
Reply:throught any opening in your body, [ex. mouth,ears,eyes..nose. ]


you can get it by wiping your hands on somthing then rubbing your eyes, or not washing your hands before you eat food, or any other kindov thing like that. ohh, and speaking of bacteria, did you know that the computer keyboard is considered one of the most populated places with germs? yeah, i know, gross!
