Tell us something about what infection is.

Infection is a form of disease that attacks someone when the immune system is weak and can't fight diseases and fungi which come to the body. When someone is sick and he or she urinates and another lady urinates as well there are tendencies that some particles of the urine which was made by the other maybe carried by air to enter into the private part of the other and that makes that person also infected.

There are many types of infections such as the sexually transmitted, infection gotten by using a public toilet and many more. So whichever way you can easily contact infection especially when you white blood cells is weak to fight against the attack.

Now when you are infected, you will notice some unusual changes in your body or your system such as itching, having boils and many more. This doesn't allow you to be comfortable at all as the signs always keep us worried.

Have you ever had an infection and how did you take care of yourself during that period?(Medication, isolation or hospitalization)

Yes, I have had an infection before and for the first time I discovered that sharing of sponge 🧽 is very bad. While in school, a friend of mine didn't have a sponge so we had to use mine. It was okay and there was no issues until after some months I started seeing reaction in my private part where I had to scratch it over and over.

This scratching made me so uncomfortable and I had to go to the hospital to complain. After a series of test it was discovered that it was an infection and it was sure to the sponge I shared with my friend.

Immediately, I started treatment and the medication given to me by the doctor over time started making me well again. It was indeed a terrible experience for me and from then I understood what exactly those who have infection are passing through. So when I had my infection, I took medication and that made me well.

Tell us something about whether precautions like hand hygiene, mask and isolation should be taken to avoid infection.

Yes, all the above mentioned should be taken into consideration properly to avoid any form of infection as it has proven to help so much over the years. To start with let me still throw more light on this.

Everyone needs to maintain personal hygiene and also use face mask and possibly work in isolation from those who are infected so that they will be able to keep theirselves save from any form of infection.

As we all know, infection makes you very uncomfortable and you may never have the time to enjoy yourself because of the way you will be unease with yourself therefore all precautions to avoid it must always be taken into consideration.

I want to invite @josepha, @simonnwigwe, and @bonaventure24, to join the contest in this community and share their entry participation.
