9How to Prevent Shigellosis
To prevent shigellosis, you can practice good personal hygiene by:
– Using warm water and soap every time you wash your hands
– Always washing your hands right before or after changing diapers or going to the toilet
– Throwing away dirty diapers in the right place to keep the bacteria from spreading
– Cleaning kitchen counters and changing tables with antibacterial solutions before and after each use
In addition, you should avoid close contact with infected people until they fully recover from the infection. If you have the disease, do not prepare food for other people until you feel better and do not show any symptoms of shigellosis. [9]
