RABIES - also called hydrophobia - the fear of water, or lyssa acute, is a usually fatal, viral infectious disease of the central nervous system. The disease is usually spread among domestic dogs and wild carnivorous animals; all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to rabies infection. The virus, a rhabdo-virus, is often present in the salivary glands of rabid animals and is excreted in the saliva; thus, the bite of the infected animal introduces the virus into a fresh wound. Under favorable conditions, the virus propagates along nerve tissue from the wound to the brain and becomes established in the central nervous system. The disease develops most often between four and six weeks after infection, but the incubation period may vary from 10 days to eight months.

Rabies often begins with excitation of the central nervous system expressed as irritability and viciousness and a heightened courage level. A rabid animal is most dangerous during the early stages of the disease because it appears to be healthy and may seem friendly but will bite at the slightest provocation. Wild animals that appear to be tame and that approach people or human habitations in the daytime should be suspected of having rabies.

Infected dogs usually show a sudden change in personality with a short excitation phase that is characterized by restlessness, nervousness, irritability, and viciousness and is followed by depression and paralysis. Sudden death without recognizable signs of illness is common. Dogs that develop the predominantly excited type of rabies invariably die of the infection, usually within three to five days after the onset of symptoms. Those that develop the paralytic type of rabies without any evidence of excitation or viciousness may recover on rare occasions. Paralysis of the voice-muscles in rabid dogs may produce a characteristic change in the sound of the bark.

 

 

Rabies in humans is similar to that in animals. Symptoms include depression, headache, nausea, seizures, anorexia, muscle stiffness, and increased production of saliva that brings a foaming of the mouth. Abnormal sensations, such as itching, around the site of exposure are a common early symptom. Repeated episodes of painful contraction of the muscles of the throat may occur upon attempting to swallow or may be elicited by the sight of water. 

This reaction to water is called hydrophobia - the fear of water. Rabies in humans is almost always fatal. Death ordinarily occurs within three to five days after the onset of symptoms due to cardiac or respiratory failure. Sometimes rabies is characterized by paralysis without any evidence of excitation of the nervous system. In such cases the course of the disease may be prolonged to a week or more.

If administered soon after infection, serum or vaccine can be effective in combating the disease. This is a type of passive immunization whereby animals are immunized with attenuated rabies virus, and antibodies from these animals are injected into infected persons to give them temporary immunity to rabies. The treatment is effective if given within 24 hours after exposure but has little, if any, value if given three or more days after infection by rabies. Immediate treatment of animal-bite wounds by cleansing with soap and water is extremely important because much, if not all, of the virus can be thus removed.

Vaccines prepared from rabies virus can be used to protect people who are likely to be in contact with infected animals. The safest and most effective vaccines are human diploid-cell vaccine - HDCV, purified chick embryo cell culture - PCEC, and rabies vaccine adsorbed - RVA. When a person not protected by previous immunization is bitten by a rabid animal, treatment is a dose of serum followed by a series of vaccinations. With the older vaccines, at least 16 injections were required, whereas with HDCV, PCEC, or RVA, five are usually sufficient.

 
 

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT  RABIES

  What is Rabies?  

Rabies, The Rage or Hydrophobia - a fear of water, is generally known as the disease that makes canines sick and frenzied. Foxes and Bats are the two commonest animals who get Rabies and carry Rabies, accordingly many dogs in many northern European countries, where it is prevalent are vaccinated against it. However, it can affect all warm-blooded creatures, including us.

 

Rabies is caused by a virus, the lyssa virus or the Rhabdo-virus, and it is one of the few in that particular group, which can cause disease in humans. Among other things, it attacks the central nervous system. But is also present in the animal's saliva, which is, ironically the agent that spreads the infection, because when an animal gets sick with this, for no reason it may start to bite. We are mostly often infected by the bite of a dog, bat or monkey.

Rabies is one of those diseases born of legend, and almost instinctively feared because by the time the symptoms appear, the disease can no longer be cured and almost always ends in an agonizing death. Happily, Rabies can be prevented with a vaccine and even if you have been bitten, there is every chance that you can be treated before the symptoms develop. But if you have been bitten by a Rabid animal and you do not act immediately, you will most probably die. 
 

The virus hides from the immune system, and is not always recognized as a antigen, as a consequence, no real immune response will develop, so the body does not always combats it. After a bite that breaks the skin, saliva carrying the infection enters the body and the virus travels along the neural pathways into the Central Nervous System - CNS. It soon replicates and disperses into the brain. The brain becomes inflamed and many functions of the CNS are affected.

Generally the incubation period is between three weeks and three months, the time that can pass between the infection point, and the onset of symptoms. However, instances of incubation periods lasting years, is not extraordinary.

 

If you get rabies and do not manage to be treated in time, the disease evolves in three stages:

The Prodomal Phase - the lead up over a period of 2 -3 days. The patient may have a fever, vomiting and loss of appetite, headache and pain at the site of the original bite. The autonomic nervous system is affected. This manifests itself as copious salivation and sadness.

The Anger Stage. The patient will appear restless and irritable and display signs of aggression.  You may appear disorientated and may develop seizures. This stage lasts for about 2 - 4  days.

The Neurological Stage or  Paralytic Stage. At this stage paralysis develops, usually beginning in the body part that was bitten. You may also suffer from paralysis in the throat and face, making swallowing difficult. increasingly uncontrolled movement, confusion and delirium. The person affected becomes terrified of water and becomes anxious and hyperactive. This stage lasts 2 - 4 days.

Rabies is the classic Zoonosis. Zoonosis is a disease or infection that is caught directly from another animal. Bats are a main source of infection in countries where domestic animals are vaccinated and the fox population must be forcefully controlled.

Rabies is common in Asia, especially in India, where up to 50,000 die each year. Some parts of America and Africa, have it. Greenland and many countries in Europe have rabies in their animal populations. Although most of Scandinavia, as well as Japan, Australia and New Zealand are practically  Rabies-Free. This is upheld by having strict regulations on importing animals. The British Isles is also mostly Rabies-free, but the recent ban on fox-hunting may change this; the Englishman's perception of the cuddly fox may soon change. Britain has it own problems in keeping out illegal immigrants and illegal asylum-seekers, that enter the country by the hundreds weekly, a small percentage of these people will carry Rabies and other erroneous diseases.

In any event if you get bitten or scratched by an animal or person for that matter that seems to have the symptoms or not, go straight to your nearest Emergency Room or Casualty.

 

 

Bacteria   -   A diverse group of ubiquitous microorganisms all of which consist of only a single cell that lacks a distinct nuclear membrane and has a cell wall of a unique composition. Bacteria are usually classified by means of Gram’s stain, whether or not they require oxygen - see aerobic respiration; anaerobic respiration, and on the basis of shape. A bacterial cell may be spherical  - see coccus, rodlike - see bacillus, spiral - see spirillum, comma-shaped - see vibrio, corkscrew-shaped  - see spirochaete, or filamentous, resembling a fungal cell. 

The majority of bacteria range in size from  0.0001 –  0.0005  mm. Many are motile  - self-propelled motion, under appropriate circumstances, using their flagella to swim. They also possess an outer slimy capsule, and produce resistant spores -  endospores. In general bacteria reproduce only asexually, by simple division of cells, but a few groups undergo a form of sexual reproduction -  conjugation. Bacteria are largely responsible for decay and decomposition of organic matter, producing a cycling of such chemicals as carbon (see carbon cycle), oxygen, nitrogen (see nitrogen cycle), and sulphur. A few bacteria obtain their food by means of photosynthesis (including the blue-green algae, now regarded as bacteria), some are saprophytes, and others are parasites, causing disease. The symptoms of bacterial infections are produced by toxins.

Virus - A microorganism that can reproduce only in living cells. Viruses consist of a core of either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein coat - the capsule, and, in some types, an enclosing envelope. After entering a host cell the viral DNA or RNA, which contains its genes, directs the host cell to assemble numbers of identical viruses. When these are liberated, they may damage or kill the host cell. Viruses are responsible for many diseases in plants and animals.

Virus - A particle that is too small to be seen with a light microscope or to be trapped by filters but is capable of independent metabolism and reproduction within a living cell. Outside its host cell a virus is completely inert. A mature virus - a virion,  ranges in size from 20 to 400 nm in diameter. It consists of a core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat - the capsid. Some bear an outer envelope - enveloped viruses. Inside its host cell the virus initiates the synthesis of viral proteins and undergoes replication. The new virions are released when the host cell disintegrates. Viruses are parasites of animals, plants, and some bacteria. Viral diseases of animals include the common cold, influenza, smallpox, AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, polio, and rabies - see adenovirus; arbovirus; herpesvirus; HIV; myxovirus; papovavirus; picornavirus; poxvirus. Some viruses are also implicated in the development of cancer - see retrovirus. Plant viral diseases include various forms of yellowing and blistering of leaves and stems - see tobacco mosaic virus. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral diseases but vaccines, if available, provide good protection.

Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system. It's transmitted to humans in saliva when they are bitten by an infected animal. Infected dogs are the most common cause of human infection worldwide, whereas in Western countries most cases of rabies are because of bites from infected bats.

MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari.

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoid, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is because of their small size and large numbers relative to the nine major planets that asteroids are also called minor planets. The two designations are frequently used interchangeably, though dynamicists, astronomers who study individual objects with dynamically interesting orbits or groups of objects with similar orbital characteristics, generally use the term minor planet, whereas those who study the physical properties of such objects usually refer to them as asteroids.

ANTS - any member of the approximately 8,000 species of the insect family Formicidae - order Hymenoptera. Ants occur worldwide but are especially common in hot climates. All ants are social in habit; i.e., they live together in organized colonies, and they range in size from 2 to about 25 millimeters, about 0.08 to 1 inch. Their color is usually yellow, brown, red, or black. A few genera, e.g., Pheidole of North America, have a metallic luster.

AIDS - Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome, a fatal transmissible disease of the immune system, caused by the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus - HIV. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was allegedly first recognized in Zaire, in 1976.

Three thousand acres of life-giving plants are still eaten away by some circumstance every hour of every day. That is FIVE ACRES at every sweep of this clock. - CAN YOU HELP? Greenhouse Effect - An effect occurring in the atmosphere because of the presence of certain gases - Greenhouse Gases - water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide, that absorb infrared radiation. Short-Wave Light and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are able to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the earth’s surface. This energy is re-radiated as infrared radiation, which, because of its longer wavelength, is absorbed by such substances as carbon dioxide, instead of passing through.

Forest Land - Forest covered with trees and undergrowth. Over 20% of the Earth's land-surface is forest, providing valuable oxygen, timber, and habitats for wildlife. Northern coniferous forests consist largely of pine, spruce, and firs.

The World is Starving - 50,000 people die every day due to the lack of food, drugs and medical care.

Sahara desert Facts - The Sahara Desert is a great desert area, North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to Iraq. The entire desert, the largest in the world, is about 1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West.

The Taliban - Persian Tālebān - Students. Also spelled Taleban. An ultra conservative political and religious faction that emerged in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s following the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the collapse of Afghanistan's communist regime, and the subsequent breakdown in civil order. The faction took its name from its membership, which consisted largely of students trained in Madrasah's Islamic religious schools, that were established for Afghan refugees in the1980s in northern Pakistan

Lucifer - In Christian tradition, the leader of the angels expelled from heaven for rebelling against God. Known thereafter as Satan (Hebrew: adversary) or the Devil, he presides over the souls condemned to torment in Hell. He is identified with the serpent that tempted Eve (Genesis 3.1–6) and the great red dragon cast out of heaven by Michael (Revelation 12.3–9). The exact nature of Lucifer’s sin was much debated; the commonest view is that his sin was pride.

TERMITES - any of the cellulose-eating social insects that constitute the order Isoptera. Cellulose in this case refers to wood. Termites have for millions of years been eating the majority of fallen trees, dead trees and rotting trees, from all around the world. It is said that the world would be totally covered in a ten meter pile of rotting timber, if it was not for the Termite.

He was born Samuel Leroy Jackson on the 21st of December, 1948, in Washington DC. His father left when he was very young, moving to Kansas City, Missouri, leaving Samuel to be raised by his mother, Elizabeth, and his grandparents, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Granddad was a janitor, while Elizabeth worked in a factory (later she'd be a supply buyer for a state mental institution).

THE TAKERS TEST - Every minute of every day millions of people make a hot drink for themselves. Whether it is Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate, invariably the process needs WATER and some ENERGY source. Put up your hand, if you did not know this, and also that the planet's WATER and ENERGY sources are dwindling

Spideman - SPIDERS.

Mosquito - A small flying biting insect that could be described as a type of Fly. It lives worldwide, especially in the tropics. It has long legs and a slender abdomen, Culex Forma. In most species the males feed on plant juices or nectar. The females puncture the skin with a long proboscis, to suck the blood of mammals, quite often transmitting serious diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. The mosquito is not strictly a parasite.

SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.

Hay fever An allergy to pollen, which leads to sneezing, a streaming nose, and inflamed eyes. Treatment involves taking antihistamines or, in severe cases, steroids. - ALLERGIES - hypersensitive reaction by the body to foreign substances - antigens, that in similar amounts and circumstances are harmless within the bodies of other people.

World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center).

Fleas have been around for millions of years - a fossilized flea found in Australia is said to be 200 million years old. It does not differ significantly from today's fleas. Different species can be found from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts - even penguins have fleas which counteract the cold by ensuring that their growth into adulthood coincides with the time when penguins are sitting firmly on their eggs, thereby keeping both fleas and their young in a warm environment!

Asthma is not a new phenomenon, as its recent insurgence would suggest. - Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded around 3500 years ago in an Egyptian manuscript called the Ebers Papyrus. And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it.

Huntington's Disease is due to a dominant and faulty genetic disorder on chromosome 4.  The consequence of the fault with this gene starts around or just before middle age,  and leads to a gradual physical, mental and emotional change in its victim. Huntington's Disease was named after the American, Dr. George Huntington, as in 1872 he was the first person to document an accurate description of the symptoms and the route of the disease. - The loss of these cells causes intense symptoms and eventually death. As the condition advances, it becomes more difficult for the patient to walk and speak. Memory and intellectual functions continue to decline, until the end. By far of the majority of patients are placed in hospices for special care.

THE LOUSE - also called the Body Louse - Pediculus Humanus.

CLONE - also spelled clon population of genetically identical cells or organisms that are derived originally from a single original cell or organism by asexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.

The June Bug - Cotinus Nitida - Linnaeus - Really a Flying Beetle - " I'm coming to get you!! " - Cotinus Nitida - The June Bug, also called May Beetle, or July Bug - Any insect of the genus Phyllophaga, belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae - family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera. These red-brown / green or even orange beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm - 0.5 to 1 inch, and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops, like, corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, strawberries, and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing the grasses from the roots.

COCKROACHES - Dictyoptera.

The human papilloma virus - HPV, causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear. Verrucas, also called Warts, well-defined small growth of varying shape on the skin surface, caused by a virus. The wart is composed of an abnormal proliferation of cells of the epidermis; the overproduction of these cells is caused by the viral infection. The most common type of wart is a round, raised lesion having a dry and rough surface; flat or threadlike lesions are also seen. Warts are usually painless, except for those in pressure areas, such as the plantar warts, or Verrucas, that occur on the sole of the foot. They may occur as isolated lesions or grow profusely, especially in moist regions of the body surface. The most renowned HAI - a Hospital Acquired Infection, is the Superbug MRSA - Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization. Athlete's Foot is a skin condition caused by a fungus, that typically occurs between the toes. So called the Mahogany Flats, Bedbugs are brown, flat, wingless insects, about the size of a grain of rice.  TICK - A widely distributed parasitic arachnid - related to Spiders and Scorpions, that sucks the blood of mammals, reptiles and birds, and may transmit such diseases as Typhus, Lymes Disease and Relapsing Fever. Its round body can be as small as a millimeter, or up to 30 mm long, with eight bristly legs. After feeding, the adults drop off the host and lay eggs on the ground. The larvae attach themselves to a suitable victim, feed, then drop off and molt into nymphs, which repeat the procedure. They have been compared to being similar to the Mite. An insect is a six legged creature, but all of this sized organisms once came from the same ancestor.
MALARIA - A serious, acute and chronic relapsing infection in humans, characterized by periodic attacks of chills and fever, anemia, enlargement of the spleen - splenomegaly, and often fatal complications. Malaria also is found in apes, monkeys, rats, birds, and reptiles. It is caused by various species of protozoa, a one-celled organism - called Sporozoans, that belong to the genus Plasmodium. These parasites are transmitted to humans by the bite of various species of mosquitoes belonging to the genus Anopheles . Worms, some say, have been around in one form or shape for about 600 million years. We actually share some DNA with all worms. There are perhaps up to 35,000 different types of these legless invertebrates, that we call worms. Some scurry about on the surface of the land, some live just beneath, whilst others bury themselves deep into the Earth's surface. Many live in the sea, and some have been found deep down on the bottom. Some are so small you cannot see them with the naked-eye, others are so big, they could be snakes. An Earthworm can live for ten years, living and eating in our gardens. They have no eyes, or ears and never sleep. Pound for pound, as they are made of mostly muscle they can be 1,000 times stronger than the strongest man, so next time you call a person a worm, think. Elvis was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., U.S. He died Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis, Tenn. His name in full was Elvis Aaron Presley or more correctly, Elvis Aron Presley, the popular singer widely known as the King of Rock and Roll. He was one of rock music's most dominant performers from the mid-1950s until the present day and forever. Acne can affect people from ages 9 through to middle-age. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts - deep pimples, spots. These blemishes occur wherever there are many oil or sebaceous glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back. Acne is commonly referred to in slang as zits.
