Period 7 Science class
Today in science class we are giving presentations for three different diseases, HIV, Smallpox, and cholera. In the HIV presentation we learned that HIV infects human immune cells, and reproduces within them. Also, that HIV is transmitted through infected blood and sexual fluids. There are no known cures or vaccines to prevent HIV and AIDS. From Cholera we learned that you can get dehydrated if you get cholera you can die. Spreads rapidly through contaminated water caused by bacteria. Mainly found in waste. THe symptoms of cholera are abdominal pain, vomiting and diarhea, cramps, and fever. You must rehydration to prevent the illness. The liqud is made of salt,sugar, and clean water.From smallpox we learned that there is no cure. You can get a red bump from the disease. Also, you can get infected by animals/inscets,body fluids,direct contact, and face to face contact.
Knowing this information is good because you know how to protect yourself from getting these diseases. Also, you can learn new information on these diseases and also you may have learned a new disease, Cholera. I am sorry if you didn't understand the smallpox presentation part because it seemed a little confusing to me.
Go to the sight above to see a picture of an HIV virus.
