Point Source - An epidemic in which all cases are infected at the same time, usually from a single source or exposure.
Continuous Source - An epidemic in which the casual agent (e.g. polluted drinking water, spoiled food) is infecting people who come into contact with it, over an extended period of time.
Person-to-Person (a.k.a. Propagated) - An epidemic in which the casual agent is transmitted from person to person, allowing the epidemic to propagate.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Since no one has yet, I'm going to post a new question.

Name two examples in which sanitation is still not enough to prevent a food borne illness.

By sanitation, I believe you mean hand washing and cleaning surfaces that have touched raw foods or other contaminants like human waste with soap, water, and other disinfectants.

Hmm..... Botulism can still spread even with sanitation (since it's in canned foods) but can be prevented by heating your canned food. 
Eating raw fish or chicken also can cause salmonella regardless of if it's washed or not. (Unless you plan on spraying some kind of disinfectant that would make it inedible.)
Oh, and prions.

(I put three examples in case one was wrong)
I like birds.
