personal hygiene.
Maintaining a high level of personal hygiene helps to
increase a person's confidence. If your body is clean and
taken care of it helps you to feel good.

7. GERMS
Think about all of the things that you touched today:
• Telephone
• Toilet Handle
• Pet (Cat / Dog / Hamster)
• Blow your nose
• Door Handles
Whatever you have done, you have come into contact with GERMS.
It's easy for GERMS to get onto your hands and then up into your mouth.

8. GERMS CAN GET EVERYWHERE

9. GERMS
Germs are found all over the world, in all kinds of places. The four major
types of germs are:
 Bacteria (say: BAK-teer-ee-uh) - Some infections that bacteria can
cause include ear infections, sore throats
 Viruses (say: VY-rus-iz) - Viruses cause chickenpox, measles, flu,
and many other diseases.
 Fungi (say: FUN-guy) - Plant-like. They love to live in damp, warm
places. An example of something caused by fungi is athlete's foot.
 Protozoa (say: pro-toh-ZOH-uh) - love moisture and often spread
diseases through dirty water.

11. HAND WASHING
Because some germs can live for a short time on something like a
doorknob or countertop, be sure to wash your hands regularly!
When do you think you should wash your hands?
 Before, during, and after preparing food
 Before eating food
 After using the toilet
 After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
 After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste
 After handling pet food or pet treats
 After touching garbage
Keeping hands clean through good hand washing is one of the most important
steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.

12. HAND WASHING
Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take
to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.
Handwashing with soap removes germs from hands. This helps stop infections because:
 You touch your eyes, nose, and mouth without thinking. Germs can get into the body
through the eyes, nose and mouth and make you sick.
 Germs from dirty hands can get into foods and drinks and make you sick.
 Germs from dirty hands can move to other objects, like handrails, table tops, or toys
 Handwashing helps prevent sickness and infections

14. Washing and Bathing
Washing and bathing are the most important ways
of maintain good health and protecting ourselves
from infections, illnesses and germs.
Skin care and healthcare professionals recommend
that the face, underarms and genitals are cleaned
once a day.

15. Washing and Bathing
Bathe or shower daily if possible - Bathing removes the oils, dirt, dead skin
bacteria that you build up every day and is important to having good hygiene.
Scrub your body well. Using soap and a loofah, sponge, or washcloth, wash
your entire body well to scrub off dirt.
Be sure to wash the areas you don't immediately think of - feet, bottom,
genitals, and back.
Use deodorant after shower or bath

16. FOOT CARE
Your feet take the weight of your whole body, so foot problems can quickly lead to pain.
Here are top tips to keep your feet in good condition:
1. Keep your feet clean by washing them every day in warm soapy water, but
don't soak them, as this might harm your skin's natural oils.
2. Dry your feet thoroughly after washing them, especially between the toes.
3. If your skin is dry, apply moisturising cream all over the foot, except for
between the toes.
4. Trim your toenails regularly using proper nail clippers.
5. Change your socks daily to keep your feet fresh.
