Cholera:
... makes Swine Flu look like a summer cold. I remember living in Nigeria in the early 1970s when there was a cholera outbreak. There was plenty of public information about the outbreak. This was the only safeguard, as there is no public health service, poor sanitation and overcrowding. These are perfect conditions for an outbreak to turn into an epidemic. About 23,000 people caught it, nearly 3,000 died a horrib... Read the full review: Cholera makes Swine Flu look like a summer cold by karenroach |

The primary symptoms are caused by tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin produced by the Gram-positive, obligate a... Read the full review: A complete article on Tetanus by doctorsmonsters |

Tetanus ... I was looking at some of the categories on the site and found it amazing to find that no one had written a review on Tetanus.

Meningitis ... is a killer and I am writing this review, not to scare, but hopefully as a useful information resource to remind people what to look out for if this infection is suspected. I had the unfortunate experience of witnessing an acute case of this recently involving one of my friend s children (who thankfully is doing great now). However I won t lie to you it was an extremely distressing and terrifying experience for all involved. A common effect of meningitis is that initially the symptoms tend to resemble the flu so people are unaware of its progression until it has become quite a serious infection. I however can t stress enough how imperative it is to catch this c... Read the full review: Meningitis Know The Signs by ickleannie |
