Rabies!!!!!!!

OUCH  I just got bit by a squirrel I hope i don't have rabies. O right some of you might not know what rabies is. Rabies is a deadly virus that is mainly spread by infected animals. Rabies is spread by infected saliva entering through a bite or broken skin. The virus travels from the bite to the brain where it causes swelling.

Some of the symptoms are:

• Anxiety, stress, and tension
• Drooling
• Convulsions
• Exaggerated sensation at the bite site
• Excitability
• Loss of feeling in an area of the body
• Loss of muscle function
• Low-grade fever (102 degrees F or lower)
• Muscle spasms
• Numbness and tingling
• Pain at the site of the bite
• Restlessness
• Swallowing difficulty (drinking causes spasms of the voicebox)

If you get infected with rabies and dont get treated it can lead to a coma or death. But if you get the rabies vaccine in rare cases some people can have an allergic reaction. More than 50,000 people die in the U.S. from rabies each year and the majority of them are kids. 

CHICKEN POX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh chicken pocks. Hope I don't get them luckily I haven't yet. But about four million unlucky kids get chicken pocks.And chicken pocks is caused by varicilla-zostra virus. And if you don't know what chicken pox are then they are 250-500 fluid filled blisters.

 But if you get a vaccination u cant get it. Or if u have had chicken pocks before your immune system will recognize the disease and kill it. But you can still get it when you are older but it could be worse like if u get shingles. Which is a painful blistering skin rash due to varicilla-zostra virus.

Symptom's

Most kids with chick pox's have symptom's like a fever, headache, tummy ache, or loss of appetite for a day or two before getting the pox's and last for 2-4 days. And kids with eczema can get more than 1,500 pox's.

If you have chicken pox's the itch like crazy but you cant itch them because the can break and leave a scar of get infected. But you can put cremes and bath in oatmeal to help the itching.
