  1. Allen Serrell Period 2 WANTED Measles Measles is a non-genetic disease but is still very contagious. The Measles Virus Pathogen can spread through air, saliva, cough, surfaces, blood… pretty much any way it can get into the body. The Virus itself can float through the air and can even float into the innocent mouths of the victims and spread through the lymph nodes by the upper respiratory tract. It is a viral disease of childhood, though adults can get it too if they are not vaccinated. You are most likely to find the measles in another person, or from germs in the air. (the germs coming from the person) they can also be found to be associated with the following medical conditions: Rubeol, Koplik spots, Measles virus, MV, Rubeola virus, Coryza, Conjunctivitis, Pathognomonic enanthem, Otitis media, Bronchopneumonia, Acute encephalitis and Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Symptoms of this nefarious criminal include runny nose, red and runny eyes, irritability, hacking cough, fever, diarrhea, skin rash, high temperature and kolic spots. Though the Measles have been almost completely driven out of the United States thanks to the vaccine, many third world countries who do not have access to the vaccine (and on top of that) lack of vitamin A, are still endanger of it and have an estimation of 900,000 measles deaths in third world countries per year. You can help prevent the measles by simply covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze and washing your hands thoroughly. You should also drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. If prevention fails (prevention also meaning not having the shot for measles) then bed rest, pain relief, symptomatic treatment, and vitamin A can help keep the body strong enough to prevent further symptoms until the disease passes. Five facts about this criminal: There is no real cure for the measles. Droplets in the air with the measles virus in them can live for up to two hours. Babies are vaccinated at one years old. Vaccines are now given in two doses. Though the deaths are considerably less, there is an estimated 43 million cases a year of measles.

  3. Allen Serrell Period 2 Good Citizen Award On a side note… Lets talk about something good on these wanted posters for a change! Surprisingly, it was actually HARD to find a good bacteria -citizen in our bacteria-invaded community…but we finally found one! And the lucky winner is…cowpox. For all of you thinking, “What?! A POX?! How did a POX get the good citizens award?!” I will have you know that just because something has “pox” in its name does not mean it causes pox! In fact cowpox…actually does…ummm…cause pox. BUT, it acts as a natural immunization for smallpox and fights against it when both of them are in the same organism! It actually causes LESS pox than smallpox so even though you still end up with pox in the end…you end up with less of it.
