2. Microbes are living organisms that are so small that you need a powerful microscope to see them and they live everywhere, even inside your body! They can help you or hurt you. There are so many different types. Some can make you sick, and others can help your body fight off other bad microbes.

3. Yes, microbes are on and in your body, even if you just jumped out of the shower! They live on your skin, in your nose, mouth lungs, stomach, and other places inside you.

4. Most harmful microbes in your body will die in your body naturally, and others can be killed using medicine. And remember, not all microbes are bad guys. Some are used to make cheese and yogurt from fresh milk, and some even help us digest food that we wouldn’t be able to digest ourselves.
