    Germs come in four main types - bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Bacteria can be helpful or harmful, causing infections like strep throat or pneumonia. Viruses can only live inside living things and spread diseases without cures, such as chicken pox, measles, and flu. Protozoa spread diseases through water by attracting moisture, leading to stomach problems. Fungi live in many environments and while most are harmless, some can cause ringworm or athlete's foot.
