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
