Please answer! what serious chronic diseases (besides parasite infections) can be passed through unsanitary food and eating utensils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salmonella: This can hang on for a while, though perhaps not as "chronic". The chronic parasite infections (hookworm, ascaris, strongyloides) might actually be more likely to get through your skin.
