E. coli
Flies are well-known for transmitting E Coli that can cause the worst diseases like diarrhoea, blood in stool, vomiting, fever, and stomach cramps. These diseases may last for two weeks.

When the flies land on your food, they leave the bacteria that they carry and contaminate the food. Having contaminated food causes different health issues including vomiting, fever, nausea, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.
Typhoid
Typhoid is caused by Salmonella bacteria and is contagious. When we have contaminated food or water, we contract this nasty disease. Houseflies that are in garbage, dung, rotten food, and other gross things can carry at least 100 pathogens that are the reasons for causing illness.
When a fly sits on a portion of food, it first vomits on it to make the food into liquid form. Majorly this vomit consists of its previous meal. This is full of bacteria and if you are eating too much of these kinds of foods, you are exposing yourself to these wide variety of contagious diseases.
