Did U Know

Did you know-

1.That the qintessential tetanus injections routinely administered after injury can not prevent tetanus?

Yes.To prevent tetanus you need to take tetanus antitoxin which is not usually given.The best thing to do is to get immunized against tetanus if you are not already immunized.The routine tetanus toxoid that is administered needs a couple of weeks to start acting and till then it can not protect you against tetanus.

What is the solution?

Get yourselves immunized beforehand(that is the meaning of immunization)

Anybody under 40yrs. should have received primary immunization.After the tetanus toxoid that is given at 15 years one should get it every 5 years.Lack of guidance and enough diligence on your part is the reason for not being immunized.Ask your GP about your status.And do not forget to properly immunize your children.

2.That typhoid can be prevented?

Certainly.An injection every 3 years can do it and it is not as expensive as you think as it would be and far more economical than the treatment.

People living in big cities are prone to get this infection if they do not watch what they eat.And they do not!

Typhoid spreads through contaminated water and so is jaundice.

3.That jaundice can be prevented?

The hepatitis B vaccine can not prevent the commonly seen jaundice because the common jaundice is Hepatitis A! (One must take this vaccine because once it attacks it runs a prolonged course)

3.That chicken pox can be prevented?

A vaccine can prevent chickenpox.

And it can be effectively be treated by an antiviral drug that is easily available.It can be cured in a couple of days if seen by a qualified doctor and detected early.Even some qualified doctors do not use those drugs,because once the patient realizes that he has chickenpox the usual practice is to seek traditional healers who make your life hell by their diet and the duration of treatment.

4.That of herpes is no deadly disease?

Yes,it is indeed caused by a virus that is similar to chickenpox virus! And it can be effectively treated the same way as chickenpox,believe me.There is absolutely no reason to believe the stories that it is fatal.it is NOT!You need not seek those traditional healers and undergo the torture of their restrictions.The treatment is only for a week or so unless you are late in seeking treatment.

Have a healthy life.
