HOW TO BREAK THE CHAINS OF INFECTIOUS AGENTS

HOW TO BREAK THE CHAINS OF INFECTIOUS AGENTS:  Day to day we meet microbes and infectious agents from the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink and the equipment we use.  Our fear of encountering microbes is limited, but because of two basic reasons; 1) We tend to know much less about their level of infectiousness.  2)  The are just very tiny for us to observe with a naked eye.  The overall goal of humans to be safe and free from the diseases caused by microbes, is to develop immunity against them and be able to prevent close contact with such microbes.  In our discussion here, we are going to look at some of the ways we can be free from some of the most common infectious agents.  But before we continue if you have not been following us, it requires you to read about the ways we get exposed to disease causing microbes from the link below; Dynamics of infectious diseases.
