Hi, what kind of viruses can we get from products? I understand correctly that not all viruses can use products as a carrier?

Hello.Do you mean food-food? Again, a lot of viruses can just accidentally get on them and be transferred as on a carrier.

@nanochimik47 I mean, all the products that we can consume)

Typically, foodborne illness is an infectious disease or intoxication caused by bacteria, viruses, or chemicals that enter the body through contaminated water or food.

Foodborne pathogens can cause severe diarrheal or disabling infectious diseases, including meningitis.

Chemical contamination of food can lead to acute food poisoning or the development of chronic diseases such as cancer. Foodborne diseases can cause long-term disability and death. Unsafe food types include raw food of animal origin, fruits and vegetables contaminated with faeces, and raw shellfish containing marine biotoxins.
