😱DANGEROUS! How Flesh Eating Bacteria Kills?

Flesh-eating wound bacteria create a severe infection in your wound and can make you dead within 24 hours. Like the video and let’s understand the journey of this wound bacteria from creating severe infection to your death.
Necrotizing Fasciitis is a rare bacterial infection, and a total of 4 types of bacteria are responsible for this infection. This bacteria enters the body through cuts or wounds and targets the fascia layer present under the skin layer. Let me tell you that these bacteria do not feed on your flesh.

This bacteria destroys the soft tissues of your fascia layer very rapidly by releasing some very harmful toxins, and they also keep on increasing their population rapidly. Now; these toxins start to pollute your bloodstream, which causes severe pain around the wound area, inflammation, and fever. When the infection level increases, the skin around the wound gets darker and black-colored blisters start to appear on the skin.

With time, these bacteria make the condition of your wound worse. People with weak immune systems lose their life because of the multi-organ failure condition caused by this rare and life-threatening infection.

Viral Infections – How Viruses Work and Ways To Treat Them

diseases No Comments »

Viruses are capsules with genetic material inside. They are very tiny, much smaller than bacteria. Viruses cause familiar infectious diseases such as the common cold, flu and warts. They also cause severe illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, smallpox and hemorrhagic fevers.

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This eventually kills the cells, which can make you sick.

Viral infections are hard to treat because viruses live inside your body’s cells. They are “protected” from medicines, which usually move through your bloodstream. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections. There are a few antiviral medicines available. Vaccines can help prevent you from getting many viral diseases.

The deadliest viruses on Earth

diseases No Comments »

Did you know that there are more than 320,000 viruses that can infect mammals? One of the most talked-about viruses nowadays is SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, but it is not the deadliest. There are other even more lethal viruses that are the stuff of nightmares.

This might leave you wondering where these viruses come from and how they can kill you. In our video, we explore all these questions and bring you a specific list of the deadliest viruses. The candidates on that list may surprise you.

For instance, rabies is one of the most dangerous viruses around. The virus causes about 56,000 deaths per year in more than 95 percent of Africa and Asia.

It is mostly transmitted from domestic dogs, but bats and rats also play a minor role. One bite from an infected animal can result in inflammation of the brain, nausea, vomiting, violent movements, and even a fear of water.

By then, it’s too late for the infected individual, and death typically occurs after a few days due to cardio-respiratory arrest.

Rabies is only one of the most lethal viruses on Earth right now. If you’re curious about our other picks and how they affect humans, watch our video to find out more.

Understanding Influenza Viruses – The Influenza ( FLU )

Understanding Influenza Viruses – The Influenza ( FLU )

Every year Americans end up getting a billion colds and 1/5 of Americans get the flu. Adults average two to three colds per year while the numbers even higher for kids.
Colds are caused by viruses such as Adenovirus Rhinovirus and others. Flu is caused by the Influenza Virus. In both cases they don’t respond to antibiotics, meaning they don’t respond to antibacterial medications. And on a side note, people often use the term stomach flu to describe an illness causing stomach symptoms. But this is not an accurate term because the influenza virus does not cause the stomach flu. It’s actually caused by other viruses or bacteria. Into making a little more confusing, getting the flu meaning the influenza virus often causes gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting. In addition to the other flu symptoms such as fever and body aches.
There are different types of influenza viruses. Type A and Type B, there’s subtypes of Influenza A like h1n1 and h3n2. And there are rare types of Swine Flu in avian flu.

How Flu Spreads | How Cold Spreads
The main way that both colds and flu spread from one person to another is through droplets that infect people spray when they coughed and sneeze and kissing is another form of transmission. It can also be spread when a person touches pretty much any surface that accumulated droplets from a sick person and then they end up touching their faces. So these surfaces could be someone’s hand or a doorknob or light switch, money, Keys, phones, gas pumps, remote controls, toilets, etc.
Viruses and bacteria can live on services for two hours or more. The flu is much more seasonal than colds, mainly from November to March.

What are the symptoms of the flu and what are the symptoms of a cold ?
There is an overlap between flu symptoms and cold symptoms. For example, both can have congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. If there is a fever it’s almost always gonna be the flu. Especially if that fever reaches 102 – 104 range. Body aches in exhaustion are also more common and more severe with the flu. If there is nausea or vomiting, it’s gonna be the flu.

There are other illnesses that cause symptoms similar to that of the cold of the flu. For example, bronchitis is an infection of the bronchial tubes or the bronchial tree. The bronchial tubes carry air into and out of your lungs and are caused by the same virus is that cause. The common cold bronchitis can develop as part of a cold or all by itself. With bronchitis, you get soreness in your chest in a bad cough. Sometimes there’s fever and chills bronchitis usually goes away on its own. It’s almost always caused by a virus. Less than 10 percent of the time it’s caused by bacteria then there’s pneumonia.
Pneumonia is a broad term that refers to an inflammation within the lung. The most common type of pneumonia is infectious pneumonia, which is most commonly caused by bacteria but it can also be caused by viruses.

Causes of Pneumonia:
Pneumonia causes fever, cough with nasty Phlegm, difficulty breathing, chest pain associated with it and there can be evidence of pneumonia visible on either chest x-ray or cat scan.

How a Doctor Diagnoses the Flu?
A doctor can sometimes make the diagnosis by simply noting your symptoms and taking into consideration whether or not the flu is going around. Other times testing for the flu helps make a diagnosis by doing its nose and throat swap. Doctors will especially want to test you if you fall to any of the following categories –
– If you have a compromised immune system
– If you have a normal immune system but you’re at risk for severe disease for example if you have a medical condition like COPD, Asthma, Chronic kidney disease, Congestive heart failure, or something like that.
– If you’re admitted to the hospital with an acute febrile respiratory disease.
This is probably because flu patients in the hospital need to be isolated from other patients to prevent transmission of flu from one patient to another. When doctors do the nose and throat swap, doctors can test the swap in two different ways.
