HealthTipMonday: 5 Simple Steps to Prevent Waterborne Diseases 💧

Waterborne diseases occur when bacteria, viruses, and parasites contaminate water sources due to poor sanitation, sewage disposal, or agricultural runoff.

Drinking or coming into contact with contaminated water can cause cholera, typhoid, and dysentery, leading to diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. Protect yourself and your family with these simple steps:

✅ Drink only safe, treated, or boiled water
✅ Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating
✅ Practice proper hand hygiene—wash with soap and water after using the toilet and before meals
✅ Store water in clean, covered containers
✅ Avoid open defecation to keep the environment clean

Clean water = Better health. Stay safe, stay healthy! 💙
