There are several important rules that every person should follow to protect against infectious and parasitic diseases. Following these rules helps strengthen the body's natural immunity and ensures disease prevention. Let’s take a look at them:
-
Don’t forget to wash your hands — before eating and after being in public places, it is essential to wash your hands thoroughly. This is one of the most important measures to protect from various infections. It is also necessary to avoid touching food or surfaces with dirty hands.
-
Drink only clean water — or use boiled water. It is very important to drink clean and safe water to protect against infections and parasites. Extra caution is needed to ensure its purity.
-
Protect yourself when coughing — if you cough, cover your mouth and nose with your hand or a tissue. This helps prevent the spread of viruses or bacteria to others.
-
Don’t miss important vaccinations — to protect against serious infections like hepatitis and HPV (human papillomavirus), you need to get all recommended vaccinations on time. This will help protect you from potential health issues in the future.
-
Avoid consuming raw food and meat without proper thermal processing — consuming raw food and meat can lead to the rapid spread of parasites and microorganisms. Therefore, all foods should be thoroughly heat-treated to ensure their safety.
-
If problems arise, consult a doctor — if you experience symptoms like coughing, fever, diarrhea, or jaundice, seek medical advice immediately. These symptoms may indicate an infection or the presence of parasites, as well as other serious illnesses.
-
Thoroughly wash vegetables, fruits, and greens — before eating, wash and, if necessary, peel vegetables, fruits, and greens thoroughly. This will ensure their cleanliness and protect from viruses.
