👉 Hose-infection is a term that describes the transmission of pathogens through contaminated water or surfaces, often via improper hygiene practices. When water containing bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, it can lead to infection. This can occur in various settings, such as healthcare facilities, communal water sources, or even at home if tap water is not properly treated or stored. Common infections associated with hose-infection include urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin infections, and respiratory illnesses, particularly in vulnerable populations like the elderly or immunocompromised individuals. Preventive measures include ensuring clean water sources, regular handwashing, and proper sterilization of medical equipment to minimize the risk of infection.
