The Invisible World of Microbes
Did you know that you're never alone? Yes, that's right! Even when you think you're all by yourself, billions of tiny creatures called microbes are with you. They're so small that you can't see them without a microscope, but they're everywhere - in the air, on your skin, inside your body and even in the food you eat! Microbes come in many shapes and sizes. Some are friendly helpers, like the ones in your stomach that help you digest food. But some, like bacteria and viruses, can make us sick. However, it's important to remember that even these 'bad guys' have a role in nature. They help break down dead plants and animals, turning them back into soil. So, the next time you’re alone, remember, you’re actually hanging out with billions of tiny friends!
