Hemorrhagic Fever

In the movie Outbreak there was a viral out break. Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) refer to a group of illnesses that are caused by several distinct families of viruses. In general, the term viral hemorrhagic fever is used to describe a severe multisystem syndrome multisystem in that multiple organ systems in the body are affected. It can be found in men and women, kid and animals. The fever liquefies you major intestines in the body cause convolutions and you reached tempters of 106. Also so you start bleeding thought your eras, and eyes and nose. Viruses causing hemorrhagic fever are initially transmitted to humans when the activities of infected reservoir hosts or vectors and humans overlap. The viruses carried in rodent reservoirs are transmitted when humans have contact with urine, fecal matter, saliva, or other body excretions from infected rodents. The viruses associated with arthropod vectors are spread most often when the vector mosquito or tick bites a human, or when a human crushes a tick. However, some of these vectors may spread virus to animals, livestock, for example. Humans then become infected when they care for or slaughter the animals. In the movie the host of the virus was a small spider monkey and the virus spread from it and then transform as it moved people to people. It was very scary to think that something like this could happen but hopefully it won’t ……
