Answer:
A. Measles --> Vaccination
B. Skin cancer --> Education
C. Salmonella poisoning --> Food inspection
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Measles
It is a very contagious and potentially serious viral disease, which spreads easily when the infected person removes respiratory secretions when speaking, coughing or sneezing. It can occur at all ages, with children being the most affected and being serious in young and immunocompromised children. It can cause serious respiratory complications such as pneumonia or diseases of the central nervous system.
Its symptoms: high fever, runny nose, conjunctivitis and cough, rash on the face and neck that spreads to the rest of the body.
There is currently a measles vaccine that is a combination vaccine that provides protection against three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella (known as triple viral or MMR). The MMR vaccine is proven effective and very safe.
B.Skin cancer
It is known that the main cause of skin cancer is exposure to the sun, specifically to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Much of the exposure of ultraviolet radiation throughout life is received in childhood, especially for recreational activities. Several studies have shown that sun exposure received throughout life, including that received in childhood, contributes to the development of skin cancer. This is why prevention must begin in childhood.
There are several ways to prevent skin cancer, such as performing activities under shade, not exposing yourself to the sun during peak hours, using creams with UV protection, going to the dermatologist on a recurring basis, but the main thing is to receive the necessary education to prevent this disease
C. Salmonella poisoning
Salmonellosis is a type of food poisoning caused by the salmonella bacteria (bacteria that usually live in the intestines of animals and humans and are expelled through feces). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), reptiles and birds are the main carriers.
The WHO notes that salmonellosis is: "one of the most common and widely spread foodborne diseases." He adds that: "Most cases of salmonellosis are mild, although sometimes the disease can cause death."
As a prevention, WHO advises control at all stages of the food chain, from agricultural production to food processing, manufacturing and preparation, both in commercial establishments and in homes.
In homes, prevention begins with good food storage and continues with aspects such as washing hands before cooking and wearing gloves when handling the feces of domestic animals.
