“Most emergency physicians assume a runner or a cyclist who gets a little goofy is dehydrayted and needs more water or [sugar}, but in the process you can treat them to death,” says Carl Foster, PhD. “If you leave them alone their kidneys will sort things out (MacReady 1). Dehydration may result rapidly from exercise and sweating because large percentages of fluid are loss during these periods. In the warmest race ever since 1987, the 2004 Boston Marathon had more than 1,100 runners suffering from dehydration, heat ailments, and other medial problems (DeMarco, Smith 1). “By 7 p.m., Newton-Wellesley had treated 72 runners, mainly for dehydration” (DeMarco, Smith 1).
Symptoms of this infection usually occur within 7-10 days of being exposed. During those days symptoms are very similar to the common cold. This disease is passed by an infected person sneezing or coughing and the tiny droplets containing the bacteria sail through the air, hitting another person. Coughing spells may lead to vomiting or a short period of losing consciousness. In infants, choking spells are common.
(Wikipedia contributors) The virus also remains alive and contagious on exposed surfaces and in the air for up two hours. Measles is highly contagious, over 95 percent of non-immunized children will develop the disease if exposed to the virus. (CDC) Symptoms of the disease first appear 10 to 12 days after initial exposure to the virus. These symptoms include cough, runny nose,fever, malaise, red watery eyes , koplik’s spots and the hallmark skin rash. (CDC) Initially a fever develops, followed by runny nose, cough and water eyes and koplik’s spots(small white spots that develop within the cheek and mouth).
The investigation included hospitals, day care settings, churches, and schools. Measles outbreaks had been considered eradicated since 2000, however with more and more people choosing to be unvaccinated, and increasing travel outside the United States this has become a worry again for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The current rate for measles in the United States is 1 in 738,672 people (Vaccine incidence, 2014). Despite great achievements put forward toward global reduction of measles, there still remains a large issue. In 2010, 327,305 cases of measles were reported and approximately 139,300 deaths (CDC,
But your doctor may advise you to not take drugs of any kind. Hepatitis B: In most cases, hepatitis B goes away by itself within 4 to 8 weeks. More than 9 out of 10 adults with HBV recover completely. However, about 1 out of 20 people who get HBV as adults will be "carriers" and have chronic (long-term) infection with HBV. Nine out of 10 infants who get HBV at birth will have chronic infection unless they receive immediate treatment.
Once a person lacking sleep has gone into mania they start believing that they do not need sleep and will stay awake for more than 20 hours, this makes the disorder worse [ (AstraZeneca, 2009) ]. Using psychoactive drugs for any type of mental disorder relies on the symptoms to be relieved by the prescription. In the case of bipolar disorder, these drugs are recommended as a primary method of treatment (AstraZeneca, 2009). Although not a permanent cure, the person will receive enough relief to help them operate throughout the day. In these cases, the medication provides temporary relief but the patient is asked to seek further help, such as a counselor, to find a more permanent fix (Bipolar Disorder, 2009).
According to the textbook of influenza. There are serious side effects to the flu vaccine, yet very rare. Someone who has received the vaccine will experience a mild temperature. A person who takes the vaccine might also experience their muscles aching for a few days after receiving the jab, as well as the arm or the area were the jab was given, which might be sore. The best time to have the flu vaccine is in autumn; this is usually September until early November before any outbreaks.
The tick exposure has not been recognized. The outbreak might be warm or itch. The rash—erythema migrans (EM)-generally grows within 3-30 days and usually begins round, red patch that expand. About 75% of patients with Lyme disease develop EM. Clearing may take place from the center out, leaving a bull's-eye effect; in some cases, the center gets redder instead of clearing.
Though less likely, you may also catch the flu virus by touching phones, door handles or other inanimate objects and then touching your own eyes, nose, or mouth. The incubation period for influenza is commonly 2 days but can range anywhere from one to four days from initial contact with the virus. Once the onset of symptoms occur, a person can transmit the virus for up to seven days, individuals may even be contagious one day prior to the onset of flu like symptoms. You’ll know when you have the flu once your symptoms start to appear. The flu begins abruptly, causing high fevers, generally 102 -106F, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, muscle aches and stiffness, chills, fatigue, malaise, sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lack of appetite, and worsening of other illnesses such as heart failure or asthma.
You would think if I could fight a Heroin addiction, I can quit smoking. One thing that I know that would benefit other people if smokers quit, is second hand smoke. “Secondhand smoke is associated with disease and premature death in nonsmoking adults and children. Exposure to secondhand smoke irritates the airways and has immediate harmful effects on a person’s heart and blood vessels. It may increase the risk of heart disease by an estimate 25 to 30 percent…” If we could ban cigarettes all together, I bet the amount of cancer problems we have will dramatically lessen.
