bubonic plague 1918 :: Article Creator Is The Bubonic Plague Still Around? The plague. Sounds like one for the history books, right? Well, believe it or not, the plague is still around. Blame fleas and the rats, mice, chipmunks, and squirrels they infect. Bubonic plague is caused by bacteria that live in fleas. If you get bit, you can get it, too. You can even get it from a rodent that a flea bites. Symptoms can start two to six days after being exposed. People get flu-like symptoms like a fever, headache, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes.

1916 spanish flu :: Article Creator From The Plague To Spanish Flu: Malulani Hospital in Wailuku, which became Maui Memorial Medical Center, was established by St. Marianne in 1884. The coronavirus is not the first deadly scourge to come ashore in Maui County to cause death and wreak havoc on daily life. From the time Capt. James Cook arrived to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Native Hawaiian population collapsed from nearly 1 million to 40,000. So serious was the threat of disease that in 1840, King Kamehameha III adopted a law punishing anyone who knowingly violated the quarantine law with hanging. By 1850, the Kingdom had instituted a Board of Health that was given very broad powers to prevent the spread of disease as well as the power to provide relief to those affected by quarantines and sanitary cordons. The Board of Health system of managing infectious disease continued when Hawaii became a territory. Its first big test was the

vicks cold medicine :: Article Creator 6 Major Cold & Allergy Medicines That Don't Work If you get ill with the sniffles this season, you might be motivated to create a workaround for your go-to treatment. Widely Sold Oral Decongestants In a unanimous decision, a panel from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that phenylephrine, the active component in approximately 300 million units of over-the-counter drugs, did not actually function. According to Mark Dykewicz, MD, professor and department chief of allergy and immunology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, "modern trials, when carefully performed, are not demonstrating any improvement in congestion with phenylephrine." The committee found that oral preparations were the least effective. Phenylephrine, frequently branded as "PE," is present in medications such as Sudafed PE, Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Sinex Nighttime Sinus Relief, Ro
