Fun Friendly Phobic Fact Friday!

Houseflies enjoy dining on garbage, manure, or rotting flesh. They vomit on their meal and suck it up like a vacuum to ingest it. Then they seek out their next meal, vomiting again (including bits of their last treasure), on whatever they land on. Then they eat it again. They leave behind bits of their last disgusting meal wherever else they land (your table, your arm, your sandwich), along with tiny housefly bum-bum germs. Also, the dirty spots you see on windows? Those are often the fly's vomit, which can carry germs that spread diseases.

So the next time your darling child decides to "clean" the windows, you might want to rethink it.
