Document Summary
Biological hazards: nontransmissible (cannot be transferred from human to human). Cardiovascular - diseases related to heart as a result of food (high cholesterol), lack of exercise, lots of stress, smoking, etc. Cancer - many different causes (we cannot specify just one cause for it). Every cancer is caused with many different agents (environmental, genetical, etc. ). No proof that these diseases can be transferred from human to human. Diabetes - caused because of genetics, food, and obesity. No proof that diabetes can be transferred from human to human. Asthma - closely related with some allergens (something in our environment). No proof that asthma can be transmitted from human to human transmissible diseases include: bacteria, viruses, protozoa. diseases: (can be transferred from humans to humans). Examples of such: transmissible, bacteria can be cured using anti-biotics, however, anti-biotics do not work with viral infections. If we consume that kind of meat (with high concentration of anti-biotics), we might become more resistant to antibiotics.
