    The different ways by which the housefly contaminates our food:

    The different ways by which the housefly contaminates our food:


    1. Hairy body and legs: Hairy or spiny body and legs easily pick up dirt containing germs from
    unhygienic places such as rotten materials, infected wound or faecal matter. When these flies sit
    on our food, they rub their legs continuously dropping the particles of dirt onto the food, thereby
    contaminating it.
    2. Pouring out saliva: When the housefly pours its saliva or regurgitates on food, foodstuffs get
    moistened and pathogens get deposited on them. This results in their contamination.
    3. Excreta: While feeding on food items, houseflies may deposit their excreta on food,
    contaminating it.
    4. Direct transmission of germs: In some cases, houseflies directly transmit the pathogens. In case
    of eye disease trachoma, pathogens are transferred from an infected person to a healthy person,
    when a fly settled on an infected eye of a person sits on the eyes of a healthy person.

    Contamination of potable water can occur due to

     Improper disposal of sewage


     Defecation and urination near lakes, rivers or ponds
     Drainage of animal wastes and washings from dairies and poultries into water bodies

    C] LONG ANSWER TYPE:

    1)

    (i) One should breathe by nose and never by mouth because nose contains hair and mucous to trap dust
    and micro-organisms, so that the inhaled air becomes pure and the respiratory passage is free of dust
    and micro-organisms.

    (ii) We handle a variety of things like books, coins, furniture, tools and machinery in workshops, seats
    and supporting rods in buses and even pets and other domestic animals in our day-to-day life. Many of
    these objects carry germs. These germs can be picked up by us, when we touch these objects and get
    transferred to other parts of our body or into our mouth, when we eat our food. Therefore, it is
    necessary to wash our hands before eating food to avoid the spread of diseases caused due to these
    germs.

    iii) Flies are carriers of many disease-causing germs and bacteria. Therefore, eating places must be kept
    free of flies to avoid possible contamination of food.
    2)

    Cockroaches and rats are common household pests.

    1. Cockroaches are involved in spoiling food, paper and cloth. They may act as carriers of viruses,
    especially those which cause cancer.
    2. Rats eat grains and other foods. They also act as carriers of certain pathogens. A parasite named
    rat-fleas lives on rat’s skin. It possibly carries the germs of plague.
