H1N1
Epidemic Outbreak Getting Worse Globally
According to the statistics done by World
Health Organisation, there are one in every 10 people infected by H1N1
globally. H1N1 is a type of disease transmitted from birds to human and often
manifests itself in the form of high fever that can last for a few weeks. H1N1
is a particular dangerous disease especially for children and elderly as they
have weak immune system. We must find out the causes, effects and ways to
overcome H1N1.
There are a few reasons that cause the
disease to be transmitted to the human. The main cause is due to close human
contact with birds. Very often, those who rear chicken or ducks are prone to
H1N1. The H1N1 virus is mutated to enable transmission from birds to human.
When one person is infected, other people around that particular person will
also most likely be infected if he or she did not take precautionary steps.
The effect of the disease is varied and
often complicated. According to a statistic, 90% of people infected with the
disease were reported to experience high fever that lasts for 3 weeks. Most of
them also show sign of vomiting and diarrhea. All of this is due to our immune
system trying to defend our body from H1N1 viruses.
There are many ways to prevent the
spreading of H1N1. H1N1 can be overcome only when everyone follows all the
guidelines drawn by health experts. We will less likely be infected by H1N1 if
we follow the steps stipulated by World Health Organisation. For example, we
should always wash our hand before and after taking our meals. Those who rear
livestocks should carry out
decontamination to prevent disease outbreak.
In conclusion, H1N1 is a very dangerous
epidemic affecting people from all around the world regardless of races,
religions, and nationalities. Therefore everyone should bear the responsibility
to eliminate the disease for the sake of our country and family.
