There is a LOT of bacteria on your skin, but most of them are good for you. Some have useful functions, whereas others just take up space that would otherwise be occupied by “bad” germs.

When you touch your skin with dirty hands, you increase the chance of harmful genes entering your body. The usual ways germs enter your body are through you mouth, nose and eyes – dirty hands lead to getting you sick.
