Answer 1

We don't NEED to prevent bacterial/micro organism infection. The body doesa good enough job of it by itself.... Skin, skin pH, salt, friendly bacteria, hair. This is a really simple question. Any general micro book or website will give you all the answers you need.

Here's a good biology question? Why do people post questions on here before bothering to find out the answers themselves?

By the way, anti microbial handwashing is only effective if you are actually at risk of contamination (ie, working in dirty environments, food preparation) otherwise you are just killing all the good micro organisms on your hands.

Answer 2

I'm sorry to say this but washing ur hands regularly IS the best way of preventing bacterial infections.
Other than that,avoid contact with people or contaminated objects since bacteria is passed on this way.

Answer 3

1. Wash all your body in antibacterial solution regularly. Shave all your hair. Eat antibiotics.
2. Live in isolated plastic tent, sterilize all your food, water you drink, air you breath, clothes you wear... and avoid contact with other people.

This can be hard reality of life for people with damaged immune system. Some children had to live in such tents for years in hospital. But most of bacteria on and in the body of healthy human are friendly. Immune system needs contact with bacteria and other pathogens for its development and good function.

Answer 4

to prevent the bacteria from infecting us? its easy,what u have to do is just crying.when u are crying ur tears will come out from ur eyes. dont u know that in our tears has an antibacteria that can kill the bacteria.so when u crying let ur tears come out to ur cheek and this can kill the bacteria that have on the surface of ur skin face.or u just collect ur tears and take a bath with it.ur body will be sterilized....(just kidding). but in our tears it has antibacteria that can kill the bacteria.
