Collection: Anti Infection

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by harmful germs (pathogens) that get into your body. The most common causes are viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Infectious diseases usually spread from person to person, through contaminated food or water and through bug bites.

We all get infectious diseases. You can get them from breathing in germs (like after someone coughs or sneezes), from bug bites, from contaminated food and from the environment around you. Respiratory infections (like colds, flu and COVID), stomach flu, STIs and even foot fungus are all examples of infectious diseases.
