Potentially fatal bugs are a part of everyday life but it’s important not to misplace your fear, an expert says.
On Monday, there was a report of a 10-month old Australian boy falling seriously ill after he contracted salmonella. It is believed he caught the disease from a shopping trolley.
This was followed by a story of a British mother who died from blood poisoning, caused by a small scratch on the back of her hand she got while gardening.
In light of these reports, we take a look at serious or potentially-deadly diseases that can come from everyday activities, and whether you need to worry.
