DISEASES THAT CAUSE PROBLEMS IN AFRICA

Here in Africa there are many diseases that do not kill people , which have killed the nations . These are such as Malaria , Bilharzia and blindness caused by the black fly .

Malaria is a disease spread by a female mosquito , which lives by drinking human blood . The male feeds on the sap from the plants . This mosquito bites people without choosing a sheep from a horse , and in this way spreads the infection of this disease . Malaria infects a person ' s intestines without healing , unless he goes to a doctor to find a cure . If a person cannot see a doctor , there is no doubt that he will kick the wall .

Research has shown that more than a million people in Africa die from this disease every year . Some of the symptoms you have in the person you are carrying are dizziness , headache , sweating , loss of appetite , fever and pain in the joints and back . As soon as a person notices these symptoms , he should hurry to the health center closest to him to contact the doctors .

People can prevent being bitten by these mosquitoes by covering the gutters near their houses because they like to live in stagnant water . When people sleep they should protect their beds or beds with a curtain that prevents these mosquitoes from biting . Apart from that , drugs can be used to kill them .

Another disease is that of sweat caused by a black fly that lives in rivers . This fly carries maggots , which it burrows into the human skin when it bites . Once they have penetrated her skin , they lay eggs that will hatch . After that the person begins to swell from the thighs to the feet . His eyes were also red and watery , and he was afraid of the light . In the end , he is blind and cannot get medical help .

When a person is blind , there is nothing that can be done to restore his sight . A person can be helped as long as he rushes to the doctor as soon as the symptoms show themselves . Your patient will return to the doctor several times until the doctor is satisfied that he is cured . The eggs of this fly can stay in the human body for ten to twenty years . This is what makes it difficult to bring the disease under control . Research has shown that this disease infects more than thirty million people here in Africa .

Bilharzia can be spread by the careless people it hosts . Patients with this disease can spread it by turning rivers into toilets . When these patients help themselves to rivers , the eggs of Bilharzia in their feces and urine , pass into the water . Now the eggs have hatched and the larvae will go with the water .

Where the river passes , people who bathe , wash , drink or walk in this water , get infected with this disease . On the other hand , people with wounds and sores are easy to heal . When a person is infected with it , it shows the following symptoms , pain when defecating or defecating , blood in the urine or faeces , fever and fatigue .

When a person is a victim of this disease , he must rush to the health center to get help . Bilharzia is easily treated with medicines that doctors and clinics provide .
