Contagious Disease/ Communicable Disease

When a disease is capable of spreading from one person to another.

The five types of potentially harmful organisms

Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, Parasites, Biofilms

The presence, or reasonably anticipated presence, of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an items surface, or visible debris or residues such as dust, hair, and skin.

The removal of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an items surface and the removal of visible debris or residues such as dust, hair, and skin.

Determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms and/or diagnostic tests.

Nonscientific synonym for disease-producing organisms.

Illness resulting from conditions associated with employment, such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or ingrediants.

Various poisonous substances produced by some microorganisms (bacteria and viruses)

Single-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics.

Any organism of submicroscopic or microscopic size.

Non harmful or harmless organism

A condition in which the body tissue reacts to injury, irritation or infection Inflammation is characterized by heat, pain, and/or swelling.

A fluid containing white blood cells, bacteria, and dead cells. this is a by-product of the infectious process.

An infection confined to one particular part of the body, such as a pimple or abscess.

An infection where the pathogen has spread throughout the body, rather than staying in one area or organ.

Large family of bacteria that is often found in soil or water.

A submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in the cells of a biological organism.

Disease- causing microorganisms that are carried in the body by blood or body fluids.

Are single-celled organisms that grow in irregular masses that include molds, mildews and yeasts.

Also known as "barbers itch". A person with tinea barbae may have deep inflamed or noninflamed patches of skin on the face or the nape of the neck.

A fungal infection of the skin that appears in circular lesions.
