A housefly gets attracted towards garbage and excreta. The harmful microorganisms present in excreta and garbage easily stick to its fine array of body hair and are thus, transferred to food stuffs whenever they sit on them and a result food gets poisoned.

The common housefly can transmit the pathogens that cause shigellosis, typhoid fever, E. coli, and cholera. The disease-causing agents can either be transmitted by the body hairs or by the tarsi which are transmitted to food or surfaces when the fly lands.
