Preventing Diseases MB

[Hubert]

I know I posted this in another thread, however, I know some do not read them all, me being one...lol.

But I would like to see a Preventing Diseases mb. It could discuss things such as how to properly wash your hands, how to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, MAYBE with permission and all, STDs, (but thats the other topic, see that for more info.) Cancer could be discussed and how they can do their part not to get it, ie not smoking.

I think this would be VERY informative and could help teach everyone about harmful diseases.

thoughts?

How would you position it against Public Health?

What you're asking for is covering in various levels of detail in Public Health, Medicine and even Cooking MBs.
