INTRODUCTION
Germs, something that has plagued every living thing since their inception into this world. As a child, one might hear their mother shout out, “do not touch that, you will get germs.” It was not clear at that moment what exactly she was talking about; nevertheless, in that moment that child knew it was in everyone’s best interest not to touch whatever it was that she told them no to. Likewise, at one point humankind did not know that germs existed. It was not until the 1800’s that scientist discovered microbes and the germ theory of disease. This essay will discuss how the germ theory of disease has affected science; how our society views these diseases; and lastly, how scientists use plants to help cure many illness.

Likewise, they have spent many hours trying to find a way to prevent the transfer of theses disease-causing germs. For example, antibiotics and antiseptics are two preventive means and used in the fight against the spreading of germs. Scientist have discovered that plants have many remedies that help reduce the possibility of getting or spreading infection. For instance, ginger, rosemary, garlic, and peppermint are just a few items that one could find in a antibiotic. Likewise, alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are two items found in antiseptics like hand sanitizer that helps destroy many common germs that carry diseases.
CONCLUSION
Humankind is always evolving; our DNA is coded this way so we can continually adapt and overcome any issues that life presents. The germ theory of disease is another example of this adaptation to our circumstances. Consequently, bacteria are living entities themselves; therefore, they are always evolving as well. It is for this reason, that new theories and ideas need to be explored and not disregarded. Furthermore, theses ideas are critical to ensure that we are exploring all avenues in reducing these disease and ensuring the well-being of the human
