The one thing I found confusing about What The Bleep Do We Know…

HowStuffWorks "How Atoms Work"

…is the part where the kid tells Maitlin’s character the ball never touched her when he tossed it to her and she claimed to feel pain.   If the ball really only bounced off her why did she feel pain and how are diseases spread with hands and other parts of the body?   If I place my hand on a hot stove, it doesn’t bounce off and I definitely feel a burn and pain and if I leave it there long enough my skin will burn, possibly melt resulting in serious injury.  Why doesn’t my hand bounce off then?   I am suppose to think some invisible germ will just leap across this electrical charge from one person to another?   I don’t think so.
