This happens by three ways. 1) By means of flies. A house fly has 6 legs and those legs have many hair like branches on it. ( You can see under microscope.) They carry thousands of germ when they sit on faces of patient of dysentery as they go out door in many developing countries for defecation. Then flies may go and sit on food and transfer the germs to the food of victim. 2) By way of hands. If the patient go for defecation and serve food with the same hands, then germs are transferred to the victim. 3) If there is rain fall and germs will enter the shallow well through soil. (Shallow well does not denote any depth of well. Germs will travel to any depth till layer of stone is there. Below that there is 'Deep' well.) If you drink contaminated water, you will get the dysentery.
