This Is What Really Happens When A Fly Lands On Your Food

Nothing ruins a good meal like a nasty, icky, no-good fly landing smack-dab in the middle of your lunch. First of all, they're bugs — and unless you're into that sort of thing, creepy crawlies don't exactly make for the best appetizers. Secondly, flies carry tons of bacteria — some of which can make you pretty sick — and nobody wants a trip to the hospital for dessert. Then there's the way they digest their food, and you don't want to know how they do that … but in this video, we're going to tell you anyway! This is what really happens when a fly lands on your food.

How do you best keep flies away from your food?

The fact that I have made it this far in life and have eaten food with flies landing on it, makes me think it is not that big of a deal. There is a high chance I am now immune to the three illnesses listed.

I think buffets are way more filthy. I don't trust exposed food that anyone can sneeze close to.

Poop, you forgot to say they land on POOP!

Nobody has ever been able to explain how fruit flies appear on fruit indoors in the middle of winter (deep freeze) where do they come from? Its sun zero outside & they weren't living inside the house. I believe they are already in the fruit

with the scary stuff....I am 54 and all my life been at BBQs...family picnics....and parties at the lake and can't think of 1 person that got sick cuz a fly landed on their food...hell if you are reading this and are in public...you probably have more harmful bacteria on your hands then on a fly's legs....

Sometimes you just don't want to know the truth...

Anyone else make it here furious after a fly landed in their food?

The fact I lived this long and did not know they hated the lemons ? All this time I could have put out Frackin' Lemons??😮 wow

"God in His wisdom made the fly - and then forgot to tell us why!"

I've had a fly drowning in my glass of coke before I didn't see . Not a good experience. 😕

You know you learn something different every day.

Fruit flies like to also hang around the inside of a toilet bowl.

[mrrpepsi]

Well you just took all the fun out of my dinner !!

Don't forget the blowflies and bluebottles. If you see those, run.

Good thing I gave up eating fresh fruit.

Screens are very effective in resisting insect born diseases, not to mention air conditioning.
