The Black Plague

[dreamur]

Two people just got the plague in China — yes, the Black Death plague

Plague, caused by bacteria and transmitted through flea bites and infected animals, can develop in three different forms. Bubonic plague causes swollen lymph nodes, while septicemic plague infects the blood and pneumonic plague infects the lungs.
Pneumonic -- the kind the Chinese patients have -- is more virulent and damaging. Left untreated, it is always fatal, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Old world disease ang Bubonic plague. Seems like it reemerged. That is not a good sign.
Based on the article, the best way to prevent this is by controlling the fleas on our dogs. Good thing there are numerous, once a month medicines against ticks & fleas now. We can’t rely on antibiotics since superbugs are developing.

diseases thought to be eradicated or dormant, do crop up from time to time in liblib na pooks...

viruses and bacteria and other microorganisms have been on earth far longer than homo sapien

200,000 yrs palang tayo billions of years sila

mas magaling sila mag adapt kesa tayo

do we seriously expect humans can wipe them out?

tayo pa mauna ma-wipe out

see how bacteria mutate and overcome antibiotics





kung sa evolutionary success, mas successful sila kesa sa atin

Articles say the bubonic plague crops up once in a while but are effectively treated by modern Antibios, so it never got the chance to have that universal epidemic level in the 1800s since antibios haven’t been invented yet at the time. Small pox (a viral disease) has been eradicated in the ‘70s I think.

bacteria evolve faster than humans can create drugs to fight them

humans: we wiped out, eradicated...

bacteria: hahaha

AMR is a serious concern. That is why all health sectors have been gathered for a One Health policy when dealing with serious diseases.

According to state-run news agency Xinhua, the unidentified patient was believed to have become infected with the plague after catching and eating a wild rabbit in Inner Mongolia's Huade county.

Remember SARS? It also originated from China. It’s their habit of eating almost anything that moves.
