A food borne infection is an illness that you get from eating contaminated food. This can be the result of improper preparation, such as undercooking, or improper handling, such as a cook who does not wash his hands after using the restroom. Food borne infections include food poisoning, E. coli infections, hepatitis, and many other illnesses.

What is Fomite borne diseases?

A fomite is any object that can facilitate horizontal bacteria transmission of bacteria or virus (person to person). Almost every object on earth could theoretically act as a fomite. A good example would be a doorknob: Someone with an infection (that has the infection-causing bacteria on their hands) touches a doorknob, then you touch that doorknob and then touch your nose or mouth, then you get the infection. The doorknob acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection. Another example would be food: Someone with an infection sneezes on your food (or near your food), then you eat that food, then you get the infection. The food acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection.
