Weather of Arabia - While the entire world is still trying to rein in the Coronavirus, the Chinese authorities have announced the third risk level of a new pandemic, "bubonic or bubonic plague" in northern Inner Mongolia.

 

The epicenter of the virus

 

The city of Bayan Nur is the current focus of the spread of the virus, and information is still scarce about the number of infections, while the authorities announced the third level of epidemiological warning in Hoshun (regional administrative unit in Inner Mongolia) in Urad-Chungky in the city of Bayan Nur.

 

According to the authorities, there is a risk of the disease spreading among the city's residents, and recommendations were given not to hunt and eat wild animals.

 

What is a bubonic plague?

 

It is an animal disease of origin and it spreads among small rodents "mice, rats" and fleas. This disease kills two thirds of the infected people if they do not undergo the necessary treatment.

 

The plague disease is very old, as it has killed millions of people in Asia, Africa and Europe, and it has been called the Black Death, due to the appearance of spots of blood that become black under the skin of the injured person.

 

The infection is transmitted to humans through fleas, so observing general hygiene and controlling the reproduction and spread of mice helps prevent the risk of this disease. This disease is spread from one country to another through mice that are transported by means of transportation.

 

Humans and animals can be infected with this disease through mice, rats and flea bites. This disease has destroyed many civilizations throughout history. The credit for the plague's decline now is due to the improvement in living conditions, the use of antibiotics, and the spread of primary medical knowledge among people.

 

Types of plague

 

What are the symptoms of plague?

 

Symptoms usually include sudden onset fever, tremors, head and body pain, weakness, vomiting, and nausea. Painful and inflamed lymph nodes may also appear during bubonic plague. Symptoms of the pulmonary form appear quickly after infection (sometimes within less than 24 hours), and include severe respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough, which is often accompanied by blood-stained phlegm.

 

Can the plague be cured?

 

Plague infection has two main forms:

Bustular and pulmonary, and all forms are treatable and curable if detected early enough.

 

Bubonic plague:

It is the most common form of plague globally, and is caused by an infected flea bite. The bacillus plague, that is, pneumoniae, penetrates the body at the site of the bite and crosses the lymphatic system to reach the nearest lymph node and multiplies in it. Then the lymph node becomes inflamed, tense, and painful, and it is called "dubl". In advanced stages of infection, the inflamed lymph nodes can turn into open sore filled with pus. The transmission of bubonic plague between humans is rare. Bubonic plague can develop and spread to the lungs, in what is known as pulmonary plague, which is considered one of the most severe types of plague.

 

 

Pneumonic plague or pneumonic plague:

 

It is the most deadly form of plague. His incubation period may not exceed 24 hours. Anyone who has pneumonic plague may transmit the disease by spray to other people. Untreated pneumonic plague is fatal, unless diagnosed and treated early. However, recovery rates are high if the disease is detected and treated in a timely manner (within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms).
