How Does Poor Hygiene Contribute to Disease Transmission?
Poor hygiene can lead to the proliferation of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These microorganisms can thrive in environments where hygiene practices are neglected. For instance, contaminated water can harbor pathogens that cause diseases like cholera and dysentery. Similarly, failure to wash hands after using the restroom can result in the spread of fecal-oral transmission diseases, including hepatitis A and norovirus.
