Disease Prevention
Disease Prevention Infectious diseases are caused by microscopic organisms that live in other people, animals, or the environment and are too small to see. If you do not come into contact with them, you can prevent many infections and illnesses. While specific diseases are passed in specific ways, there are basic steps you can take to stay healthy and lower your risk of catching and spreading any infectious disease.
