Some diseases that we can get from flood damage are: pneumonia, skin allergy or irritation, food poisoning, diarrhea and many other diseases which may be hazardous to your health.
Exposure to flood damage after the tragedy is unavoidable because you really have to go back your house and clean up the area.

* Food inspection. Do not put yourself at risk, eating foods that were exposed to flood damage especially those that are packed in foils, paper, cardboard boxes and cellophane.
