Different health problems are spread in different ways. For example, tuberculosis (TB) germs are spread through the air. Lice and scabies are spread through clothes and bed covers. Cleanliness in the community (sanitation), cleanliness in the home, and personal cleanliness are all important to prevent sicknesses by stopping the spread of germs.
