Everyone else calls him…Sick Simon. When will it end? How far will he go? Will the germs take over, or can Sick Simon learn to change his ways?

Looks at how germs can spread such diseases as the common cold by following the journey of the germs that fly out of a boy's mouth when he sneezes in class without using a tissue, showing how colds spread or not depending on hygiene practices.
