Insects and Diseases A Popular Account of the Way in Which Insects may Spread or Cause some of our Common Diseases

** "Insects and Diseases" by Rennie Wilbur Doane is an informational book from a century ago that breaks down the connection between insects and the spread of diseases in a way that's easy for everyone to understand. It kicks off by explaining how parasites, like tapeworms, get their food from other living things and how this can make people sick. Doane stresses how important it is to understand these connections, especially with the rise of medicine and understanding the need to protect people's health. By using straightforward writing, the book prepares readers for a full look at different insects and the diseases they can spread, setting the stage for later chapters that zoom in specific bugs and the illnesses they may cause. **
