Germs can live as long as a week depending on the type of area they are in. Most germs can live up to a day or longer most of the time. Answer By the word Germ, I gather you are probably referring to a pathogenic microorganism such as bacteria or viruses. A germ can last only seconds in one environment while lasting years in another environment. For example, The Virus responsible for AIDS last only a very short time outside of the body; however this same virus may last for years inside of the body. Some viruses which are kept frozen in liquid nitrogen (Foot and Mouth Disease Virus as an example) can last many years in this state and will still be viable under the right conditions. Some bacterial pathogens may last a short time in the body until overcome by the immune system or can stay in the body for years causing damage to internal organs like the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. So, in a nutshell, germs can last only seconds or can last many years depending on the type of pathogen, its location, and the conditions of its environment.

Hand washing is the best way to prevent germs from spreading. Think of how many things you do with your hands ... it's a lot! While cooking food will remove many germs you are touching the food after it has been cooked. If you have not washed your hands before preparing a meal, germs can be transfered to your cutting board, knives, counter, plates and food. By handwashing before cooking, it prevents germs from hands being transfered to mouths and into your body.
