The proper collection of a specimen for culture is the most important step in the recovery of pathogenic organisms responsible for infectious disease. A poorly collected specimen may lead to failure in isolating the causative organism(s) and/or result in the recovery of contaminating organisms.

How Does Someone Get Infected? Name the body fluids and an explanation, if any, of how it can be transmitted. High Risk Body Flu
love history [14]
Highest risk body fluid would be blood because it has high nutritional value and pathogen is multiplying on there. Most pathogen will be transmitted by blood.

Droplet from cough also highly contagious since it easily contacts with any part of the body. Inhalation also makes the infection easier since it contacts mucosa.

Vaginal secretion and seminal fluid can transmit many virus but it depends on how many virus in the blood.

Saliva is composed by water and enzyme so it's low risk on virus spread. But it's on the mouth(which wasn't sterile) so it can be contaminated by various things. 

In normal condition urine and spinal fluid is sterile, but in a case of infection, it can be contaminated.

Sweat is mostly water and salt so it's safe.

1. I personally (Average teen) use social media about 3-4 hours a day. I spend most of my time online watching You tube videos, this app and snap chatting my friends.

2. I don't think me being on social media has a influence on me because I know my limits and I know that life is not revolved around social media and you can do other activities besides being on your phone all day. (Sports, music, arts, etc.)

3. I think the positive side of me using social media is I can connect with my friends and family, and keep up with that is going on in the world. However, many many people are affected by bullying online, which is a negative thing that should never happen.

4. I think I spend a reasonable amount of time on social media, considering most of it is for school or educational purposes.

Sorry for the long reply, but hope you can get some inspiration from this :)
