When a fly lands on your plate, a question arises: is food contaminated? What is happening when a fly lands on the food? A team of American researchers decided to investigate the subject. The researchers first asked the question to respondents: if you are in a restaurant, in what situation would you stop eating: if you find ants, flies, cockroaches or rodents? 60% of participants responded cockroaches. Yet, flies on food can also be a serious health hazard. Indeed, the scientists found that the flies were able to spread bacteria and germs much faster than any other insect. The flies feed on anything they can find: waste, animal carcasses or feces, like fruits and vegetables! Furthermore, it is important to note that the flies do not have the ability to chew. The flies spit directly on food enzymes which dissolve the food to swallow directly. The scientists concluded that the organization of this insect could, because of its hygiene and diet, contain several viruses and bacteria. They can easily spread and end up in our food. Furthermore the way of feeding, scientists have also discovered that the tabs flies contained a large number of bacteria because of the nature of their diet. Furthermore, several studies have shown that flies could also pass some very dangerous infectious diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, tuberculosis, conjunctivitis and diarrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to cover your food so that the flies do not touch it. If this is the case, get rid of that food because it can be dangerous to health.
