To many to list: With only 400 characters to use i can not list all the germs that can be harmful to kids. Some are opportunists, can exist on your skin surface & not cause problems but if a cut opens the skin will cause an abscess or blood poisoning(staph, strep, others).Some are trouble if ever inhaled(anthrax spores) some can enter your brain thru your nasal skin(amoeba, meningitis)too many to say>.
