b. Describe worker behaviors that may promote or compromise food safety.

Please be sure to justify your opinion with the literature.

Question 2: Recently there has been numerous reports on increased mosquito bites in several neighborhoods in your community. Your staff has investigated these reports and have found them to be justified. In fact, there has been an increasing number of complaints that mosquitoes are preventing people from staying out in the early mornings and evenings. Additionally, the local health department has informed you that there has been an increase in reported cases of encephalitis and a few deaths related to West Nile Virus.

Unfortunately, your health department is very limited in its personnel and its financial resources. You have to chose the most efficient methods to control this problem. Based on the information concerning mosquitoes in this scenario:
