No. Germs are unable to travel along electricity, as such. Electricity is simply the flow of electrical charge along a wire, and so in this sense, germs cannot 'ride' on this flow of electrons. If germs somehow were in contact with one end of an electrical current, they could not be transferred by the flow of electricity to a person at the other end. However, I suppose that the germs could be present on the actual wires that carry the electricity, and be transferred to a person via contact of this wire.
