What is much easier to avoid, is eating untested,
unpreserved, and unrefrigerated animals. So many
people eat disease-infected animals. They themselves
contract the deadly disease from the contaminated
meat and pass it on to another human; who passes it on
to someone else; and so on.

As if this isn’t bad enough, the real problem begins
when these infected people decide to travel. This is
where the disease gets introduced to other regions. As
more and more of these individuals travel further and
further away from their own hotspots, the spread of the
disease is categorically unavoidable.

Many Humans Are Less Sanitary Than Animals—
Although more than half of the infectious diseases
that affect people are zoonotic, humans are chiefly
responsible for carrying and spreading them.
On top of eating bad meats, humans are some of
God’s most unsanitary creatures. How many times have
you seen someone come in off the street and sit right
down at the table to eat; without washing their hands?

They may have (unknowingly) been exposed to
a virus. They wouldn’t know. Did you ever notice how
servers in restaurants hold your drinking glass by
placing their hands over the top where your mouth is
supposed to go?
And, pay attention to how nurses handle your
medications in the hospital. They’re pushing a cart
around with a computer on top of it. Your medicines are
in the drawer beneath the computer shelf.
Even if they wash their hands and put on gloves, that
cart that they keep touching isn’t sanitary. Remember,
it’s been in every patient room on that floor, and not
once cleaned upon leaving each room.
