Is crud more infective than schmutz or are these just different culture mediums?

heehee Americans say schmutz and Anglo-Saxons call it crud- a good earthy word.

You can't catch anything from them, but I think if you ate them crud would upset your stomach more

Although Schmutz in Am. English is probably from Yiddish and thus Old High German, so maybe also Saxon!
