2.The infectious pathogen leaves the infected person's body.

3.The infectous pathogen reaches another person & enters his/her body.

4. The second person develops the infection
Name some the ways the disease-causing bacteria, virus,fungus or parasite leaves the infected body in stage 2?
1. A bleed from a cut or the person may sneeze out little droplets carrying the pathogen.
In stage 3 what sre some of the way the infectious pathogen reaches another person/enter his or her body?
The person may come in contact w/infected person's blood or other body fluid in which the pathogen enters the mucous membrane or person will inhale tiny droplets in air or bit by tick/mosquito w/pathogen.
This standard was done to eliminate/minimize employees exposure to human blood and other infectious materials.
