The comment claiming that using hands to mix food is why “many people are recently dying of malaria and typhoid” is not only misinformed but harmful. Malaria is transmitted through mosquitoes, and typhoid is caused by bacteria from contaminated water or food, not directly from the act of hand-mixing food. Such statements spread unnecessary fear and misinformation, particularly when addressing traditional food preparation methods like “Abacha.” Instead of jumping to conclusions, it’s essential to promote proper hygiene and food safety practices rather than blaming cultural practices without evidence.
