Preventive Measures

The three preventive measures to control microbial infections are:

  • Avoid consuming food from unhygienic places, especially during the rainy season, as that is the breeding season for insects.
  • Avoiding contact with the infected person and using their belongings to avoid contracting air-borne diseases, likepneumonia and the common cold.
  • Maintaining proper public and personal hygiene.
    • Public hygiene includes proper waste disposal and periodic disinfection of water reservoirs and pools. These measures are particularly essential for infectious agents like ascariasis, typhoid, amoebiasis etc., that are transmitted through food and water
    • Personal hygiene includes keeping the body clean and consuming clean drinking water, food, vegetables, fruits, etc.
