Let's say I am sick, can saliva carry those germs?

Yes, saliva can carry harmful germs. While saliva is typically not as infectious as other bodily fluids, it can contain bacteria, viruses, and even disease-causing parasites. Therefore, it is important to wash hands thoroughly after performing any activity that might involve saliva.
