Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, ‘jɛm’ na wan grup we rili smɔl smɔl tin dɛn we wi yay nɔ de si. Dɛn kin gɛt 4 grup dɛn mɔ : Baktri, Vayrɔs, Fɔngi, ɛn Protozoa . Dɛn wan ya kin kam insay wi bɔdi ɛn mek wi gɛt difrɛn sik dɛn.

Di bɛst we fɔ avɔyd jem - was yu an!

Naw, di bɛst ɛn simpul we fɔ protɛkt yusɛf frɔm dɛn jem ya ɛn fɔ mek yu nɔ sik na fɔ was yu an ɔltɛm ɛn fayn fayn wan. If yu was yu an fayn fayn wan wit sop ɛn wata, dat go mek bɔku pan dɛn jem ya nɔ go insay yu bɔdi. Mɛmba se dis rili impɔtant!

Fɔs, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt baktri dɛm.

Baktri na rili smɔl smɔl tin dɛn we gɛt wan sɛl. Dɛn kin gɛt dɛn it frɔm di say we dɛn de liv.Nɔto ɔl di baktri dɛm bad, lɛk aw yu kin tink. Sɔm baktri dɛn kin rili fayn fɔ wi bɔdi. Fɔ ɛgzampul, sɔm baktri dɛn we de na wi intestinal kin ɛp fɔ mek di bɔdi digest. Tink bɔt am, we wi de it yogɔt, dɛn kayn gud baktri ya kin kam insay wi bɔdi. Dɛn kin stɔp bak fɔ mek bad bɔdi nɔ kam de na wi bɔdi. Wan ɔda tin na dat, dɛn kin yuz dɛn bɔdi ya bak fɔ mek sɔm mɛrɛsin ɛn vaysin dɛn . Bɔt sɔm baktri dɛn kin mek wi gɛt prɔblɛm bak.

Neks, lɛ wi si wetin na vayrɔs.

Vayrɔs dɛn ivin smɔl pas baktri dɛm. Infakt, dɛn nɔto ivin kɔmplit sɛl dɛn . Vayrɔs na jɔs wan pat pan di jɛnɛtik matirial (DNA ɔ RNA) we dɛn rap insay wan prɔtin kot . Nɔ lɛk baktri dɛm, vayrɔs nɔ kin ebul fɔ liv fɔ dɛnsɛf, ɛn dɛn nɔ kin ebul fɔ sheb dɛnsɛf. Dɛn tan lɛk tifman, we de fos fɔ go insay ɔda sɛl ɛn yuz di tin dɛn we da sɛl de gɛt fɔ mek mɔ vayrɔs dɛn lɛk dɛnsɛf. Dɛn nid pat dɛn na ɔda sɛl fɔ mek dɛn gro, dat na fɔ mek dɛn bɔn pikin dɛn.I nid fɔ du dat. Dat min se fɔ mek di vayrɔs kɔntinyu fɔ liv, i nid fɔ de insay ɔda tin we gɛt layf, lɛk mɔtalman, animal, ɔ plant. Vayrɔs kin jɔs liv fɔ rili shɔt tɛm ausayd ɔda tin we gɛt layf. Imajin, if wan vayrɔs we de na bɔdi wata we kɔmɔt frɔm pɔsin we gɛt di sik, de na tebul ɔ tɔylɛt sit, i kin de de fɔ sɔm tɛm. Bɔt if i nɔ fɛn ɔda pɔsin we go ɔs am kwik kwik wan, i go day. Bɔt we i dɔn go insay pɔsin in bɔdi, di vayrɔs kin skata izi wan ɛn mek da pɔsin de sik. Dɛn vayrɔs ya na dɛn kin mek wi gɛt smɔl smɔl sik dɛn lɛk kol we wi ɔl kin gɛt, kɔmɔn sik dɛn lɛk di flu , ɛn ivin siriɔs sik dɛn lɛk smɛlpoks ɛn HIV/AIDS . Wan tin we yu fɔ mɛmba na dat antibayɔtik nɔ de wok agens vayrɔs . Dɛn dɔn mek bɔku spɛshal kayn mɛrɛsin dɛn we dɛn kɔl antivayrɔs mɛrɛsin fɔ trit vayral infɛkshɔn, bɔt dɛn nɔ kin wok fɔ ɔl di vayrɔs dɛn, bɔt na fɔ sɔm pipul dɛn nɔmɔ we dɛn dɔn pik.

Mek wi tok abaut fungi nau.

Mek wi tok abaut fungi. (Dis na ‘fun-guy’). Fɔŋ dɛn gɛt bɔku sɛl dɛn, we min se dɛn mek dɛn wit bɔku sɛl dɛn, ɛn dɛn tan lɛk plant dɛn. Fɔngi kin gɛt dɛn it frɔm plant, it, ɛn animal dɛn we de na say dɛn we wam ɛn wet. Bɔku tɛm dɛn fɛns ya kin de na say dɛn we wet ɛn dak, sɔm tɛm dɛn kin de na di say dɛn we wi skin kin fold, ɛn na so dɛn kin mek wi gɛt infɛkshɔn. Bɔrku tɛm, fɔn infεkshɔn lɛk ‘atlet in fut’ (dεn kin kɔl am bak ringwɔm) ɔ ‘yist infεkshɔn’ nɔr kin rili denja fɔ pɔrsin wae gɛt wɛl bɔdi. Bɔt fɔ pipul dɛn we nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ imyun bikɔs ɔf sik dɛn lɛk HIV ɔ kansa, sɔm fɔngal infɛkshɔn kin siriɔs smɔl. So, pipul dɛm wae nɔr gɛt bɛtɛ imyuniti fɔ tek tɛm mɔ bɔt dis.

Fɔ dɔn, lɛ wi si udat na Protozoa.

Fɔ dɔn, lɛ wi luk wetin na Protozoa. (Dɛn kin kɔl dis ‘pro-to-zo-ah’). Protozoa na tin dɛn we gɛt wan sɛl, lɛk baktri dɛm. Bɔt dɛn big smɔl pas baktri. כlso, dεn sεl dεm gεt nyuklios εn כda sεl strכkchכ dεm insay dεm. So, dɛn fiba mɔ lɛk plant ɛn animal sɛl dɛn. Protozoa dɛn kin rili lɛk wet . So, di intestinal infεkshכn εn כda sik dεm we dεn kin kכz, fכ egzampl , amebiasis εn giardiasis , kin pas tru dכti, dat na wata we dεn kכntamin. Na dat mek dɛn kin tɛl wi ɔltɛm fɔ drink wata we dɛn dɔn bɔl. Wi fɔ avɔyd fɔ drink wata na say dɛn we wi nɔ no se di ples klin, lɛk na do.Sɔm protozoa dɛn na parasayt dɛn. Dis min se dɛn nid fɔ liv pan ɔ insay ɔda tin we gɛt layf, lɛk ɔda animal ɔ plant. Fɔ ɛgzampul, di protozoa dɛn we kin mek pɔsin gɛt malaria kin gro insay wi rɛd blɔd sɛl dɛn. Dɛn kin dɔn pwɛl dɛn sɛl dɛn de. Sɔm protozoa dɛn kin kɔba insay wan shɔɛl we de protɛkt dɛn we dɛn kɔl sist. Dis kin mek dɛn ebul fɔ liv fɔ lɔng tɛm ausayd mɔtalman bɔdi, ivin we di envayrɔmɛnt nɔ fayn.

So, wetin na di impɔtant tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba frɔm dis stori? (Mɛsej we dɛn kin tek go na os)

Okay, so a op se yu dɔn ɔndastand dɛn jem ya we wi tɔk bɔt tide bɛtɛ naw.
