How can one prevent diseases spread by house flies?
A housefly needs a few seconds of contact with pathogens and a few seconds contacts with your food to spread dangerous diseases. Thus you should take precautions to prevent fly-borne diseases.
Eliminate all contaminated foods and liquids that a fly has come in contact with.Avoid contaminated utensils, crockery or cutlery.Avoid direct contact by a fly on sores, eyes or wounds.Reduce the presence of flies around your home or business.Install fly-screens.A proper garbage (waste management) system, including covered drains and tightly covered bins, is essential.Eliminate excrement: clean toilets, proper sewage systems, and septic tanks are most essential. Open defecation is most harmful.Practice stringent food hygiene. Raw foods (meat, fish, etc) should be stored in hygienic containers and thoroughly washed before use. Cooking and eating utensils, kitchen surfaces and food preparation areas must be kept clean and sterile with soap, detergent, etc. Hands must be washed after use of the toilet and before cooking, eating or drinking.
How to protect yourself from mosquito bites
Use a safe and effective mosquito repellent:
Wear mosquito repellent containing DEET (up to 30%).
Concentrations up to 30 percent DEET are also safe for children (according to reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics). Do not use insect repellent on infants under two months of age.Apply repellents containing permethrin to your clothing or gear.
Do not use permethrin on your skin.
Several products are available as sprays,solutions, or commercially-impregnated clothing.Other alternatives are available, including picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus.
Only use products that are registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Follow the product label and reapply as directed.Wash off repellents when you return indoors.
Wear loose fitting, light colored, long sleeved shirts and pants.
Head nets can also be used in areas with high mosquito populations.
Avoid outdoor activity, if possible, or be sure to wear repellent during peak mosquito feeding times:
Dawn and dusk for Culex tarsalis mosquitoes that can spread West Nile virusDaytime for Aedes triseriatus mosquitoes that can spread La Crosse virus.
