BEWARE: Texans Are Warned About Rare Deadly Contagious Disease On The Rise
Every other day, in Texas I feel like the United States of America and every state in the country is under attack from something. If it’s not the rise in Covid, visitors invading Texas for an eclipse it’s something. According to CNN, the CDC has alerted doctors everywhere to look out for unusual and strange symptoms of a rare and serious bacterial infection that has begun to rise in the US.
BEWARE OF THE DEADLY DISEASE ON THE RISE!
Neisseria Meningitis Bacteria is an infection that is causing, deadly, and severe chaos. Meningitis can be hard to detect by looking at someone because it could come off as the beginning stages of the flu. Stiff neck, nausea, and headaches with fever are the usual symptoms of Meningitis, but lately, there have been symptoms with bloodstream infections, and about 4% of these cases have painful, infected joints. This disease has been attacking middle-aged adults which is kind of odd because normally Meningitis affects babies or adolescents at a young age.
HOW DO I PREVENT THIS DEADLY DISEASE?
Washing your hands, using great hygiene, covering your mouth when you cough and sneeze, and not sharing your utensils or drinks can keep the risk of catching Meningitis lower at risk—unvaccinated individuals, people with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women are at risk more than others. As of right now, the CDC has identified about one and six people have died, and a higher than normal fatality rate for the infections. We’re asking Texans to please keep an eye out for your loved ones and be safe.
