Non-infectious diseases do not spread from person to person. They have other causes. Therefore, it is important to know which sicknesses are infectious and which are not.
Non-infectious diseases have many different causes. But they are never caused by germs, bacteria or other living organisms that attack the body. They never spread from one person to another. It is important to realize that antibiotics or medicines that fight germs do not help cure non-infectious diseases.
