The House Fly is a very common insect that is seen in homes and farms. House Flies are a carrier of many diseases, including typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and anthrax. The house fly transmits these diseases to humans by carrying disease organisms onto food, which humans then eat. House Flies can only eat liquids, but can liquify solid food with their saliva. | ||
