How To Fight Bacterica Posters Cartoon refers to a series of public health posters from the early 20th century featuring cartoon characters to educate the public about how to prevent the spread of bacteria and improve personal hygiene. These posters often depicted anthropomorphic bacteria as menacing villains which could be defeated through good hygiene practices, particularly hand washing.
The posters were created by the United States Public Health Service and were widely distributed in schools, hospitals, and other public places. They were part of a larger public health campaign to reduce the incidence of infectious diseases, which were a major cause of death at the time. The posters were effective in helping to raise awareness about the importance of personal hygiene and in reducing the spread of disease.
