Hello everyone and welcome to this week hive Ghana community,my name is @quin.lizzy and today I would be writing about the topic "sanitation and hygiene".
Most of the diseases and infections are caused by microorganisms which is as a result of the uncleanliness of the environment.
To avoid all the pandemic that could have been avoidable through sanitation and hygiene we should make sure that our environment is properly cleaned and tidy.
Our hygiene is very important to making us stay free from diseases,the following are the ways I take to keep my environment clean
First things first,waking up in the morning I make sure my house and is properly swept and also mopped.My mother doesn't tolerate dirty environment she would make sure the needful is been done,and growing up watching her do what's needed and assigning us to complete this type of tasks makes it to be part of me.
Secondly, clearing the bushes around,this is seen especially in raining season when there are a lot of grasses around,I make sure that my environs is properly cleared of grasses which harbours disease causing organisms which are pathogens.The vector are found in the grasses like the mosquitoes which causes malaria.
Thirdly,the plates,plates shouldn't be gathered and left for the next days,I try my best that after meal I properly wash them and keep them in place.This makes it possible for microorganisms not to grow around cause the grow in food.I also try to throw away dirt immediately my dustbin is filled up, keeping such around the house especially those which are biodegradable causes smell and microorganisms growth which can spread diseases.
In addition,I make sure my hands are properly washed before cooking and after touching surfaces that can cause contamination,we all can remember the corona virus infection on 2019 which was communicable,we were asked to put on masks and to make sure we use sanitizers to avoid being affected.
This protective measure is supposed to be what we do daily not because we are trying to avoid Corona virus but to avoid diseases.
Sanitation and hygiene is very essential for our well-being and also play important role to avoid infectious diseases.
