Spreading of Communicable Disease Through Food and Water

Through food and water: Infectious diseases of the intestines and stomach can spread through contaminated food and water. The organisms that cause these diseases are present in the excreta of a patient. These organisms can get into water bodies when rainwater carries excreta into them, or when sewage flows into them. Food can get contaminated by these organisms when a patient who does not have clean habits handles food, or when flies that feed on sewage sit on the food. Cholera, typhoid and hepatitis are some diseases spread by contaminated food and water.
