The Place of Infectious Diseases in Our Lives

An infectious disease, as its name suggests, is transmitted from person to person for various reasons. Infectious diseases are transmitted to humans through germs, fungi, or parasites. Infectious diseases can spread from person to person, from animal to person, and from soil to people. Items used by a sick person, such as towels, spoons, and glasses, can also be a source of transmission through shared use. When a sick person sneezes, they can spread germs. It is known that mosquitoes can carry diseases by landing on contaminated areas and then on people. Vegetables and fruits should be washed thoroughly with vinegar water. If not washed, the spread of infectious diseases is inevitable. 

– If a sick person sneezes without bringing their hand to their mouth, they spread germs,

– If hands are not washed cleanly and healthily, it spreads through direct skin contact,

– Transmission is inevitable through items used by the sick person, such as towels, sheets, and spoons.

– Diseases are transmitted through animals, mosquitoes, and pigeons.

– If we do not wash vegetables and fruits with plenty of vinegar water, they can transmit diseases.

– During pregnancy or childbirth, if the environmental conditions are not healthy, transmission to the baby is inevitable.
