Personality
Initially, Jeremy appeared to the friends as a sweet, harmless germ, charming the friends with his cute appearance. However, as a germ, Jeremy's main goal was to infect innocent people with various illnesses, with symptoms ranging from a common cold to being in a zombie-like state.

However, from Season 4 onwards, Jeremy reformed into a productive member of society, earning him a job as a chef at a diner.

Abilities
Infection: Being a microbe, Jeremy is able to infect his victims and give them an illnesses via licking or sneezing. Upon licking, symptoms begin almost immediately, consisting of a common cough or cold. However, as time progresses, the infected person will lose control of his mind and body, placing them in a zombie-like state. The infected person then loses his free will and gains an ability to infect other people via sneezing.

Mitosis: Being a microbe, Jeremy has the ability to reproduce by splitting into multiple, identical cells at a rapid pace. This ability may have been inspired by John, a bacteria character with a very similar ability.

Mass Enlargement: Jeremy is able to naturally increase his size by eating trash and other objects.
