The plague broke out in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. Do you know the harm of the plague?

What is plague? Plague is an infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis, which can make people and animals sick, with high mortality. The most common route of transmission is through fleas from animals to people, and Yersinia pestis enters the human body after biting people to cause diseases. Followed by being bitten by animals and eating food contaminated by plague animals, thus suffering from plague. There are the following hazards when the plague breaks out: 1. Harm to people. Plague has incubation period, usually several days, and is divided into many types. bubonic plague is the most common type of plague. Its main clinical manifestation is that multiple lymph nodes in the whole body are swollen within 2 days, with obvious pain, immobile lymph nodes and obvious inflammation. Pneumonic plague is the most dangerous and the fastest death, with obvious systemic symptoms. Because it involves the lungs, it usually has dyspnea and cough symptoms. If it is not treated in time, it will die in about two days. There is also septicemia-type plague, which mainly causes septicemia after Yersinia enters the blood, and can be transformed from bubonic plague. For explosive plague, the skin will appear a dark purple before the death of plague, which is also called the Black Death. If it is not treated in time, it will die soon. Then there are other types of plague, which appear erythema in the early stage and then turn into blisters, or have gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea and vomiting, as well as abnormalities in the eyes or brain. For patients suffering from plague, time is life. If they are treated as soon as possible, the greater the probability of cure. 2. Harm to society. Plague is an acute infectious disease, with frequent seasons and regions, and it is one of Class A infectious diseases. In addition, plague patients are likely to become the source of infection, so once plague cases are found, it is very likely to cause social panic and a big outbreak, leading to economic decline. There have been several large outbreaks of plague in history, and the number of deaths is quite large. This requires the relevant departments to control the source of infection and cut off the route of infection, protect the people who are vulnerable to infection, and do more publicity and education, prohibit eating or keeping wild animals in captivity, improve public awareness and avoid plague.
