Becoming Plague (HIV)

 

            The video showed many gruesome and horrifying images of children, adults, and infants infected with very disastrous diseases, or epidemic diseases known to strike and hit huge populations of people. This then causes massive population decline and heart-broken families. Four very harmful diseases shown or talked about in the video were Lassa Fever, Ebola, AIDS/HIV, and Small Pox.
             The most interesting part of the video was Lassa Fever, when talked about and shown. Lassa Fever is an extremely dangerous disease that causes all the tissue in ones body to die out and simply vanish causing them to internally bleed to the death. Lassa Fever has already killed hundreds, thousands, and even millions of people in Africa. Also, Lassa Fever has yet to be contained and still acts like a wild animal on the loose. Furthermore, scientists have discovered that the carrier of this hideous disease was brought by none other than the tiny presence of a pestilence of a little white mouse.
             Another very deadly disease in Africa is one called Ebola. Ebola virus was identified for the first time in 1976, when two epidemics of hemorrhagic fever occurred. The symptoms of Ebola are severe headache, weakness, and muscle aches, followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, inflammation of the throat inflammation of the mucous membranes in the eye, bleeding from body openings, and, often, destruction of internal tissues. The onset of illness is sudden, and the disease often progresses swiftly to extreme exhaustion, dehydration, and death. The time from exposure to the onset of illness is usually less than two weeks, and the time from onset of illness until death or improvement is usually seven to ten days. .
             The most mysterious epidemic disease is none other than the infamous AIDS also know as HIV for its beginning process to the road to death. HIV/AIDS is a disease, which was thought to be transferred only by homosexual men.
