Imagine you are sitting next to a person who has a very strong body odor on a crowded bus. All you can think about is getting off the bus, so you will not have to smell the person any longer. You know that body odor can mean someone has health problems, so you begin to fear for your own health. You have learned that if a person has significantly poor hygiene, it can cause harm for those around them. Answer the following questions:
What are the differences between communicable and noncommunicable diseases?
What types of diseases can result from poor hygiene?
Is poor hygiene a symptom of a communicable disease? If so, which one?
