What would happen if there was a world without germs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define GERM: A germ i my opinion , i guess you mean bacteria? Life is a symbiotic system. One help or hurts the other and so on. Without bacteria there would be no breakdown of organic matter. In the mouth for instance, if we had no bacteria, yeast cells would become prevalent leading to a candida infection. (yeast infection). So you see how it work. Without bacteria life would not exist.
