What is Majka's disease?

Guinea Worm's disease, also called dracunculiasis, is a parasitic contamination. This is due to microscopic parasites that live in the bodies of certain types of water pale. People are infected with drinking water that contains fleas. The parasite grows in a worm that travels from the intestines and eventually explodes with the skin. Worms usually migrate in their arms, legs or legs, but may appear on any area of ​​the body. In 1985, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a serious and extended campaign to eliminate the disease. In part, other international assistance groups such as Carter Foundations and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped. Their aim was to educate people living in villages near infested water supplies, how to best avoid disease. When the campaign first began, it was believed that there were about 30.5 million cases and since 2008 the incidents have dropped to about 5,000.

Guinean diseases of worms usually spread a pitI do or swim in water infested with water fleas that a parasite bears. After the parasite enters the body, it remains in the intestines until it changes in the worm. The worm passes through the body until it gets under the upper layer of the skin. There it continues to grow until there is a length of about 3 feet (91 cm) and about as large as the noodles of the spaghetti.

The process of entering the eruption usually takes about a year. Once the worm has reached full growth, it is usually easy to see directly under the skin. At this point, it usually becomes painful and the movement of the infested area can become difficult or impossible. When the worm begins to break the skin, the pain usually becomes much more serious, with full eruption sometimes takes more than a ten to complete.

People who are at risk of marina often live in rural areas affected by poverty, which do not have clean drinking water. The risk of closing the disease is the highest during the rainy season, because it is usually when the worms begin to migrate. People who are contaminated can also be raisedPat in drinking water, which contributes to the problem.

There is no known treatment of worms in worms than prevention. Filtering or boiling drinking water has proved to be the best method, except for the education of people who are at risk of avoiding this disease. Complications that could develop from contamination are secondary infections and possibly paralysis.
