Since the turn of the century, diseases have been the major problem for living organisms. Infectious diseases are diseases that are transmitted from person to person either by direct contact or indirect contact. Infectious diseases are most commonly transmitted by direct person-to-person contact. Transmissions can occur differently direct contact involves touching an infected person, or even exchanging body fluids; common diseases that can be transferred by direct contact are sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Transmission can also occur via indirect contact, indirect contact involves contaminated objects, and airborne transmission. Contaminated objects carry diseases on them, touching an object after an infected person will expose you to

Direct contact transmission includes by touching, or exchanging body fluids. Indirect contact is slightly different in a comparison to direct contact. Indirect contact transmission includes object that are contaminated, or though airborne. Also disease/infections may also transfer via a host (vector), such include mosquitos, fleas and etc.
If a healthy person is exposed to contaminated air or person strictly speaking shaking hands, or being exposed to contaminated air after a cough or a sneeze by an infected person, then the healthy person is highly likely to acquire the disease/infection from the infected person, because diseases/infection have the ability to travel from one person to another via direct contact or indirect contact. Healthy person shaking hands and touching their face after not washing their hands properly are most likely to get infected themselves. Healthy person may also acquire the infection by airborne transmission, being exposed to contaminated air after a cough, or sneeze from an infected person will most likely infect them …show more content…
The hypothesis stated if a healthy person is exposed to contaminated air or contaminated person, he/she were more likely to get infected themselves. From our results we can see that until student #7 everything is clear and healthy, but starting with student #7 to #15 everyone were infected, and slowly infection died off. The hypothesis was supported because of many reasons, we performed an experiment using direct contact; touching hands with the infected. Shaking hands with the infected passed on the infections to the others, shaking hands with others led the infection to spread from one person to the other until there was nothing to pass. The infected person was student #8, shaking hands with the student #7 and with #9 with #10 and so on respectively led the infection to spread. Taking this experiment into real life situation, washing hands throughout after shaking hands with anyone will likely to decrease the chances of getting infected. Not washing hands throughout, and touching my face, nose or any part of my face will definitely get me infected as
