Write about various preventing measures to cure infectious diseases.
Infectious illness prevention can be accomplished in two ways:
1. Preventing infectious illnesses in general:
(i) Sanitation: The main sources of disease-causing organisms are garbage heaps, dirty water, dusty foods, and flies. Diseases can be prevented by maintaining a sanitary environment.
(ii) Vector eradication: Vector-borne diseases can be avoided by maintaining a clean environment. Adult vectors should be destroyed using proper protocols, and vector breeding places should be eradicated.
(iii) Sterilization: The patient's surroundings as well as any items used by him or her should be sanitised. Wherever necessary, soap, phenyl, dettol, and antiseptic lotion can be utilised.
(iv) Isolation: A person with an infectious disease should be maintained in isolation to prevent others from contracting the condition.
(v) Education: People should be informed about infectious diseases so that they can protect themselves from them.
(vi) Proper (nutritious) and sufficient food: Having access to proper (nutritious) and sufficient food would help people stay healthy and resist infections.
2. Specific methods of infectious illness prevention:
- They have to do with a special characteristic of the immune system, which is responsible for fighting microbial infections.
- The immune system of the body reacts to the first time an infectious germ enters the body.
- It is then specifically remembered by the immune system. As a result, the following time the same microorganism infects the same person, the immune system responds with greater vigour and eliminates the infection faster than the first time.
- This is the foundation of the immunisation principle.
