What Is Fecal-oral Transmission
at 8:45
Answer
Fecal-oral transmission is a real thing, and that's how a lot of diseases get transmitted because someone goes to poop, and then a tiny microscopic amount of that poop ends up on their fingers. They don't wash their hands well enough, then prepare food, someone else eats that food, and now you're eating microscopic amounts of poop. Then you're getting infected that way!
