In their journey from the body Of victim to the

paths routes.
These routes five in number-contact, water milk

In the private filth route of contact the human hand
Is the great agency which carries the germs the fingers
become soied and carry the germs direct to the mouth
or to the food that later reaches the mouth.
Water becomes the route of infection thru pollution
with infected sewage
Milk becomes infected usually by contact with soled
hands infected water.
Flies obtain infection by eating infected discharges.
They carry the germs both their feet and in their
stomachs.
So you see may steer reasonably clear of the
