Step-by-step explanation:

coming into contact with broken skin, being breathed in or eaten, coming into contact with the eyes, nose and mouth or, for example when needles or catheters are inserted.

Three main ways that infections get into the body are:

airborne infections: usually breathed in through the nose or mouth

wound infections: bacteria and germs entering the body through any open wound that may be exposed to the elements

bodily contact: diseases and infections spread through the exchange of bodily fluids between people.

Hopes this helps! :)
