# Các bệnh do phân: phòng bệnh (Diseases Caused by Feces: Prevention)

A health-education sheet (code SP-999) in blue and black line drawings gives two rules for preventing faecal-borne disease: build and use a hygienic latrine and cover food against flies, and use clean water for drinking and washing, from a sanitary well, in covered vessels or boiled. It makes no political claim. The sheet's plain instructional drawings are the only persuasive device; no technique in the taxonomy fits closely, so plain-folks (ordinary household objects, direct instruction) is the nearest honest tag.
