INFECTION.

There are a lot of people who’re more vulnerable than others to get infections, so during this new summary I’ll tell you why and how we can prevent them.

The causes of the infections are the microscopic organism, which can be bacteria, viruses and fungi. We are surrounded of bacteria, viruses and fungi, so we can't escape from their. Micro-organisms are unavoidable, they’re in the air we breathe, every surface we touch and the food we eat.

The three biggest causes that we get infected from these micro-organisms are these:

• Infections from food: for example when we don’t clean as we must clean an apple. Also we must pay attention with the water that we clean something or we drink, ‘cause depending of the zone it can be infected or full of bad micro-organisms.

• Close contact: like the first contact that we have with the world, with our mother’s skins, or simply, don’t practicing safe sex.

• Hospital-acquired infections: Hospitals are full of bacteria, viruses, fungi and a lot of other micro-organisms that we don’t know that exists, so it’s a place where it’s really easy catch an infection, so we must pay attention and if we are bad, we mustn’t go there, ‘cause we will bring more micro-organisms to the hospital and it will be dangerous for the patients.

If in one place are a lot of people and only one person takes the virus it’s for his immune system, he has low defenses.

The people who’re exposed to more infections are young and old persons, persons with a malnourishment...

To prevent infections we must wash our hands regularly, follow a healthy diet, practice safe sex...
