A member asked:
Can i get sick or catch a disease if 2 flies landed on food exposed for hours cooked potatoes and carrots 40 year old female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It depends on what the flies were exposed to before landing on your food. God forbid, the flies were sitting on fecal matter with bacteria like typhoid, salmonella, or toxigenic e coli, those bugs could be transferred from the fecal matter to your food by the flies.
