Hunter Harper Paper 1 Indians and disease Collin G. Calloway says it is true that disease was a key factor in the depopulation of native Americans in America. Calloway reveals that the European invasion was a great factor of epidemics. The disease they fought were smallpox, diphtheria, measles, bubonic, and pneumonic plaque, cholera, influenza, typhus, dysentery, and yellow fever. The native Americans had a tough time fighting theses diseases due to lack of knowledge of cures. These cures were mostly attempted by plant or herb remedies and often failed to provide protection for the Indian population.
Recovering from this slight, he began working for the Chicago Department of Health as a chemist and was promoted in 1917 to senior chemist. The next year he moved to Ottumwa, Iowa where he held the position of chief chemist at the John Morrell Company. During this time, World War I broke out and Hall received an appointment as Chief Inspector of Powder and Explosives for the United States Ordnance Department. On September 23, 1919 Lloyd married Myrrhene Newsome, a teacher from Macomb, Illinois. Two years later, the couple moved to Chicago where Lloyd began working for the Boyer Chemical Laboratory where he took the position of chief chemist and focused on the emerging field of food chemistry, and began looking at a way of preserving meats with chemicals.
Death was a constant companion to those serving in the line, even when they weren't under attack, many would die of disease. They would have to face body lice, rodents, small amounts of food, and some hated the life in the trenches so much, they would cause self-inflicted wounds so that they could be sent home. Before that though, the first thing a new recruit would be overwhelmed with on the way to the front line would be the smell, the smell of rotting bodies in shallow graves, men who had not washed in weeks, the lasting odour of
Some symptoms of rabies are confusion, memory loss and delirium. Other symptoms also match up, including that “Rabies victims frequently exhibit hydrophobia […] because it is painful to swallow” (Poe’s Death Is Rewritten as Case if Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol 302). Poe not remembering who any of his relatives were, let alone noticing them, is a strong example of memory loss. To sum up, no other disease that was present in Poe’s day could include all of these symptoms, including something as extreme of fearing water.
Before readying the book The Demon in the Freezer, I hired the word smallpox, but I wasn’t sure that it is deadly disease which might use for attack. I interview most the people around me, from those only two percent of them know about this disease. Some of them don’t want to talk about it and other was comparing it with chickenpox. Our government should teach this at local schools and colleges to aware the civilian human population about this disease. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), issued recommendations to researcher for planning and designing studies for the development of drugs that treat the side effects associated with smallpox vaccines.
The island is infected with the virus ANSD so these scientists have to carefully unfold this mystery. Throughout the book Dr. Blum and his medical team perform different tests on the infected ones to better understand what is the difference between the humans and the zombies. This would help them know of the human is already infected so they can have an idea whether it is “human” or “No longer human”. In order to see what the virus is capable of, the medical dissects the zombie brains, hearts, lungs, skin, and digestive system. After all this was performed, drawings were made to help give a better idea and supply more details of all the internal organs.
In the short article “Why evolution should be taught in public schools” by Laura H. Kahn, author states that in order to understand true science knowledge children in schools should be taught evolution of plants, animals and humans. In the beginning of her passage she gives example of previous science case that had to go through many struggles before it was accepted and approved. “In the nineteenth century, the prevailing dogma was "spontaneous generation." It did nothing to prepare scientists and physicians to develop effective strategies against the infectious diseases that were killing untold numbers of people. Louis Pasteur, the French chemist who developed the rabies vaccine, was instrumental in disproving spontaneous generation and replacing it with the germ theory of disease.
Frankie Wegner Period 1 November 11, 2010 Black Death Plague In response to the Black Death Plague, the government did the best and effective job at trying to stop it from spreading. The government had the most responses that were helpful. Immediate burial of the bodies helped, because burying them helped trap the fleas that were on the bodies so they couldn’t jump onto living people that weren’t infected. The church didn’t have any actions dealing with disposal of the bodies. The doctors burned bodies, but didn’t say how long they waited.
Scientists felt there was more future for medicine. There were thousands of people were dying of incurable diseases. Paul Ehrlich the Nobel Prize Winner was the one who discovered chemotherapy to cure these diseases. He did lot of experiments to kill just the microorganisms not the human tissue. His first experiment was on the diseases syphilis.
How did people explain the plague and how did they treat its victims? What roles did science and the Church play? Most believed the plague was a punishment and was God’s way of wiping out mankind. Victims of the plague were “treated” many different ways but because of the lack of medical technology the plague was untreatable. Science didn’t have much of a role although there were a few attempts at learning more about the plague.
