Consider this, if a cockroach
were to walk across your table at a restaurant,
you would leave immediately. However, if a fly
were to land on your plate, you would probably
just wave it away and carry on eating. Yet, the
fly carries as much disease potential as a cockroach.
Should it not be met with the same distaste and
controlled with as much vigilance?
Flying insects have been found to carry a wide
range of dangerous microorganisms all over their
bodies, in their saliva and excreta, including
E.coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Campylobacter
and many others. Even a tiny dose of any contamination
reduces product quality, making it unsalable -
it is here that 'a fly in the soup' is no joke. |
