There are various things you can do if you see a fly in your food. For example, you can immediately throw away your delicious lunch. But there are some of us who will continue to eat as if nothing happened because, "it 's just a fly". Well, these mistakes can bring some problems and it is better to know about them than to remain ignorant.
The impact that these tiny creatures cause is much greater than their size and much more complex than you might think.
1. They may vomit in your food.
Here's what you need to know: Flies eat by sucking fluids. The shape of their mouth is why they have to turn every meal into juice. To do this, they spit on your food. Saliva may contain everything they have eaten before (for example, rotten meat or feces).
2. They can leave eggs in your meal.
Those delicious leftovers that you have saved for later can be turned into perfect egg nests. And, after a while, they will grow and can poison you with bacteria. So remember to cover your food if you are going to leave it out for a while.
3. Their legs and arms can turn your food into a nest of bacteria.
We already know that flies are full of bacteria inside. But did you know that most microbes can be found on the outside of their bodies? According to Nanyang Technological University, "every step of a fly leaves behind a colony of microbes."
4. Flies can have over 60 diseases.
Flies can transmit at least 65 different diseases to humans just by crawling through garbage and food. This includes perversion, diarrhea, cholera. And it is not just humans who can suffer, flies can also infect other animals, such as chickens or pigs.
