7.all diseases are contagious. true or false?

1. The right answer is C) strep throats

The vast majority of streptococcal throat infections can be cured on their own, without treatment. The risk of acute rheumatic fever or meningitis is very small, even if you do not go to see a doctor. Antibiotics are used primarily to prevent these very rare but serious complications, not to cure the symptoms of sore throat.

2. The right answer is A) a fungus

The name of athlete's foot comes from the fact that athletes are frequently affected. The perspiration of the feet creates an ideal environment for the proliferation of mushrooms: humid, hot and dark.

The parasitic fungi responsible are of the dermatophyte family. the following 2 species are mostly involved: Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum.

3. The right answer is B) sharing food or drink with an infected person.

To cause a cold, viruses must attach to the mucous membranes of our nose, our eyes or our mouth that are not a barrier impassable by microbes.

The contamination is:

* By inhaling fine contaminated droplets when a person with a cold coughs or sneezes

* By contact with an infected person or contaminated object (glasses, cutlery, toys, etc.)

* By bringing the hand to the mouth, nose or eyes.

4. The right answer is D) food poisoning.

Food poisoning is a very common condition. It is usually not very serious, but some food poisoning can have serious consequences, even fatal, for some people.

Food poisoning occurs most often after eating food or water containing bacteria, bacterial toxins (substances secreted by bacteria), parasites, or viruses.

5. The right answer is D) include genetic disease.

A noncommunicable disease (abbreviated as NCD) is a medical condition or disease that by definition is non-infectious and non-communicable between people. They may be chronic and slow-onset, or lead to faster death, such as certain types of stroke. NCDs include: autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, many cancers, asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney failure, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and more .

6. The right answer is True

A disease is called genetic when it is caused by the abnormality of a gene or a chromosome. If this anomaly is transmitted by the chromosomes of the parents, it is also hereditary. For example, hemophilia, which is transmitted by women, is hereditary.

7. The right answer is False

Infectious diseases are caused by the transmission of a bacterium, a virus, a fungus or a parasite. An infectious disease can be benign: cold, urinary infection, herpes, flu, etc ... or more serious. This is the case of AIDS or HIV, staphylococcus or pneumonia.

Non-contagious diseases are long-term diseases of generally slow evolution. The 4 main types of non-communicable diseases are:

*cardiovascular illnesses

*the cancer;

* chronic respiratory diseases

*diabetes.

i think the answer is d.
