What Really Happens When A Fly Lands On Your Food

When they land on solid food, they regurgitate saliva on it. The saliva liquefies the food for them to drink. But if fly vomit isn't bad enough consider this: Flies enjoy eating more than what's on your picnic table.

That background music is too happy for this topic

Why is there such happy music over this video like they are "talking" about how flies spread horrible diseases and they are happy with it.

I love how they put such wonderful happy music when they’re telling you can get a disease from eating something a fly landed on lmfao

"What happens when a fly lands on your food?"

Me: "I throw it away."

[idiotmartsu]

great, another thing to be paranoid about

[AnkitYadav-timu]

That background music though ....


Helps with my paranoid condition

[fabrizioguidotti]

OK I get it, next time I go to a PicNic I'll bring a bazooka.

Okay but how quickly does this happen though? If it lands for a second and you shoo it immediately, has it already spat on your food?

_"Skip the fly vomit and disease"_

I already felt like this was true, and my family member get mad at me for freaking out about a fly landing on my food!

[NexusPvP]

[louis-swkw]

I was really hoping going into this video that it would tell me nothing terribly bad happens

[yousefalloush]

I thought the title was "What happens if a fly lands on your *foot* "

And wondered why the foot was full of boogers

After this video I'm just going to bleach my food after I see a fly

[matthewemmanuel]

[mike]

Would it be semi-okay if I fully cook the food that had been touched by flies? Will cooking kill the bacteria?

[Thejimbodowntown]

[sheliapope]

Whats your fucking problem mate? You want me to starve?

[rainbowsiege]

My Grandma used to have a lot of houseflys and they were sittin on our cheese the whole time. And we just ate it as if we cared... we were all fine of course :/

[itachibutondrugs]

That's why I swing my hand around my food when I'm outside
