Watch what happens to Germs when you wash your hands with Soap at microscopic level. 🔬 The Soap molecules surround germ cells and disrupt their cell walls, causing them to burst.
Germ cells are surrounded by a cell wall that protects them from the environment. This cell wall is made up of a layer of peptidoglycan, which is a polymer of amino acids and sugars. Soap molecules are made up of two parts: a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail and a hydrophilic (water-loving) head. When soap is added to water, the hydrophobic tails group together and the hydrophilic heads face outward, forming micelles. These micelles can surround germ cells and the hydrophobic tails can then disrupt the cell walls, causing the cells to burst.
The hydrophobic tails of the soap molecules can disrupt the cell wall in two ways. First, they can bind to the peptidoglycan molecules and weaken the bonds between them. Second, they can create holes in the cell wall. Once the cell wall is disrupted, the germ cells lose their internal contents and die.
It is important to note that soap only works to kill germ cells that are surrounded by a cell wall. Germ cells that do not have a cell wall, such as viruses, are not affected by soap.
The size of the soap micelles is important. Micelles that are too small will not be able to surround the germ cells. Micelles that are too large will not be able to penetrate the cell walls.
The concentration of soap is also important. A higher concentration of soap will be more effective at killing germ cells.
The temperature of the water can also affect the effectiveness of soap. Soap is more effective at killing germ cells in warm water than in cold water.
I hope this post has helped you understand the importance of handwashing and why doctors always ask you to do it regularly. Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and stay healthy. So please, wash your hands often and help keep yourself and others safe!
Thank you for reading this post. I hope you found it informative and helpful. Please share it with your friends and family so they can learn about the importance of handwashing too. 😊🙏

I know that ‘Germs’ and ‘Dark Harvest’ are only paired together because the original pairing of ‘Bestest Friend’ + ‘Dark Harvest’ was considered just Too Fucked Up but… they really do make an Interesting Pair.
Because these two episodes both kinda follow the same plot hook of ‘Zim gets irrationally obsessively paranoid about something that might blow his mission’ but then go to the total opposite ends of the scale of, like Zim Likeability. Because in ‘Germs’ Zim just kinda comes off mostly as pathetic and pitiful and worthy of sympathy. It really is kinda adorable to see how scared he is of Germs.
Tumblr media
And his obsession mostly just hurts himself and his mission (and, like, mildly annoyed GIR), which makes him feel more sympathetic.
And then, there’s ‘Dark Harvest’, which - again - starts from a very similar point of Zim’s paranoia about jeopardizing his mission.
Tumblr media
But this time, when he goes too far with his obsession and starts misinterpreting things in a cartoony way (“more organs means more human”) he does so in a way that hurts a lot of people and basically makes him into a Horror Movie Monster.
Tumblr media
…actually ‘Bestest Friends’ also kinda has a place here. Since this one is also about Zim’s Anxieties Going Too Far. But it’s, like, the exact midpoint on the scale between these two episodes.
Swinging between moments of extreme sympathetic pitifulness from Zim
Tumblr media
And moments of extreme cruelty.
Tumblr media
And finally ending on a real culmination of both, a comedic misunderstanding that really showcases the height of paranoia and anxiety that is constantly plaguing Zim, while also alienating him from who is actually the First Person to Genuinely Care About Him
Tumblr media
And THEN he does something that's just really fucked up!
Tumblr media
And that’s just the Duality of Zim, isn’t it?

🧫 Germs in a Petri Dish Shaker Charm
USD $14.00 -> International shipping available -> Calculated shipping
Acrylic petri dish shaker charm featuring 4 mini virus/bacteria pieces inside, Cholera (yellow), Staphylococcus (purple), Salmonella (orange), and Streptococcus (teal). The top layer of the charm represents the rim of the dish along with an inoculating loop while the lower layer represents agar gel.
With or without glitter! The glitter in the charm featured in the photos is the multicolor mixed glitter. If you want a mix of specific colors and/or have a preference on how much/little glitter to put inside, let me know in the personalization section. The charms CANNOT be opened back up once I assemble them.
Features a metal swivel lobster clasp and an easily removable chain. I don't recommend attaching it to things that see rough use like keys, as to avoid scratching the plastic.
