How Do Hygiene Practices Interrupt Disease Transmission?
Hygiene practices interrupt disease transmission through multiple mechanisms: 1. Handwashing: Regular and thorough handwashing with soap eliminates pathogens from the skin's surface. 2. Sanitization: Disinfecting surfaces and objects kills germs, reducing the likelihood of indirect transmission. 3. Personal Hygiene: Practices like bathing and dental care prevent the build-up of infectious agents. 4. Environmental Hygiene: Proper waste disposal and water treatment prevent the contamination of resources.
