Influx of disease in the Caribbean

In the Caribbean, sometimes too many insects, animals, or even people carrying sickness come to an area at the same time. This is called an influx of disease. When there are too many sick people in one place, the diseases spread easily and quickly. This is bad because it can make many people very sick. To help stop it, people wash their hands, wear masks, and stay away from sick people. This can help stop the spread of disease.
