Do try using some facts. The Black Death or Bubonic Plague was not 'due'
to, 'germs'. It is an infection which entered the bodies of the victims
when they were bitten by fleas. Smallpox is not spread or caused by germs.
It is a virus.

So being bitten by a flea which containes no plague germs gives one
plague? And a virus is not a germ? Do tell.

No a virus is NOT a germ! And fleas carrying disease are also not a germ.
Do tell how antibacterial substances can kill a virus which is not a
bacteria and how it can kill a flea?

Yes, but I don't know if that applies to take aways (take outs). It
certainly applies to any food items (and every other label of items I've
looked at) bought in grocery stores.
