Our bodies are very special, like a complex factory. Each part of our bodies, for example our heart, our lungs, our brains and our skin each has its own unique part to play in one special job – KEEPING US ALIVE. Our bodies are special places we have to keep healthy and protect. Millions and millions of microbes surround us everyday... most are harmless but occasionally they're not and if they break through our fence of skin or we eat them then our bodies will react to get rid of them. Later we will meet the main culprits in our rogue microbe gallery - Bacteria, Parasites and Viruses. They can infect cells and travel around the world inside humans and animals and plants. In a world full of microbes, healthy choices help us to keep well. Sometimes it's difficult to make choices without the right information so education and understanding are important to help us stay healthy.
