Reasons for communicable diseases
When someone contracts a communicable disease, it can spread very quickly to other people around then if precautions aren’t put into place in order to protect you and the people around you. There are three reasons that communicable diseases are spread from one person to another, the three reasons are;
• Ignorance
• Economic cost
• Lack of education
One reason that communicable diseases spread from one person to another is because of ignorance. Many people that get a communicable disease usually try and ignore it and hope it will go away on its own. However whilst they are doing this the disease will be spreading to more people. A person who has contracted a communicable disease may chose to ignore the symptoms because they don’t want to take time off work, this means that the communicable disease could also spread to their colleagues. Also a person who has caught a communicable disease through sexual activity may chose to ignore the fact that they have a disease and they may think that it is the other person’s job to wear a condom, this will cause the communicable disease to spread to the person who is involved in the sexual activity. If a person does finally decide to visit their doctor he may suggest that the infected person has an incubation period; however the infected person may chose to ignore the advice and carry on socialising around people, this will result in the communicable disease spreading to even more people.
Another reason why communicable diseases spread from one person to another is because of the economic cost. Economic cost is a major reason for communicable diseases still existing; this is because in order for a communicable disease to stop spreading, there are certain methods which include; vaccinations, mosquito nets and condoms. However all of these methods cost the government a lot of money, this means that it is hard to provide person in the world with the protection they need in order to stop them
