Do You Know?Flies carry parasitic pathogens for many diseases including malaria, typhoid fever, cholera, and others. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) alluded to the fact 1,400 years ago when he said: "If a fly falls into one of your containers [of food or drink], immerse it completely before removing it, for under one of its wings there is venom and under another there is its antidote". - Sharh Mushkil al-Athar (8:341 p3293)
