Old Diseases May Surface And We Have To Deal With Them<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Cheryl Freier, author of The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems, and other historical fiction novels, and one storybook:\u00a0 The Shepherd Boy And The Sheep Alphabet<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was an article on Yahoo posted this week which expressed serious concerns about the discovery in California of a mosquito which carries the dengue and yellow fever viruses.\u00a0 Even though this small size mosquito with white stripes across its legs is the pervasive carrier of deadly diseases, health officials are not pressing the alarm button yet.\u00a0 They are working on ways to control the mosquito pest and also to eradicate it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is possible that scientists can eradicate the deadly mosquito<\/em>, which is not endemic to the United States and comes from South American countries.\u00a0 The idea of using scientific advances in DNA<\/em> to eradicate a mosquito that brings deadly diseases is comforting to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I can remember as a young child reading about the people who went out west to get rich; they traveled in Conestoga wagons; they were very brave.\u00a0 One of the hardships which they faced was the \u201cyellow fever<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Most people died from the disease.\u00a0 Almost everyone who traveled had the fear of this disease on their minds.\u00a0 Scientists and doctors were, however, through the practice of monitoring the chemical composition of drinking water and other preventable health practices, able to subdue the disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We live in a time in history when many of the well-known diseases such as small pox, which in the past centuries had killed off populations of people, can be prevented through vaccination.\u00a0 During WWII<\/em>, most people who were escaping the Nazis and caught a communicable disease usually died.\u00a0 Polio was a threat at this time to young children and to adults.\u00a0 Read my novels on the family from Micholovce, Czechoslovakia<\/em>, who escaped from the war; read how they did their best to cope with diseases at the war time.\u00a0 You may access my books under my name, Cheryl Freier\u00a0 at Author House, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
