Germs follow us EVERYDAY. Here a germ, there a germ, everywhere a … wait! With all the medical and technological advances in the last century, shouldn’t germs and infectious disease be a thing of the past?
Not so fast. One hundred years ago, infectious disease was the leading cause of death. By 1980, it had fallen to number 5, but about 10 years ago, it managed to climb its way up to number 3. And, according to Professor Charles P. Gerba of the University of Arizona Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science, it’ll most likely find its way back to the number 1 spot.
