∙ 12y agoIf you mean a carrier as in a living creature, things like fleas and mosquitoes, or other things that bite and/or draw blood can transport many illnesses. Bigger animals, like cats and dogs, can transfer things like rabies through biting.
If you mean as in a interaction with a human, that it would most likely be feces, because it carries most viruses out of the body, and always harbors many germs. But in a more simple situation, it depends on the disease. Sneezing can be a quick cause, because it will go through the air, which can be inhaled, but will most likely dissipate, or be ineffective (because most germs will be carried in the snot) if not direct. Also blood, but it is very noticeable and wont be infecting you anytime soon if you are careful.

What is the most desired form of death?
The most common answer I get when asking people this is 'old age'. But 'old age' is not a scientific classification of a type of death. The most common form of death at the moment is by non-communicable disease, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or respiratory diseases. So, once we have 'won the battle' against these non-communicable diseases, and assuming that communicable diseases do not start killing more people, what will we be dying from?
