How do pioneers get dysentery?

Answer 1

1. Watch for symptoms. The classic symptom of dysentery is bloody diarrhea, particularly if you reside in or have traveled to a tropical region. Stomach cramps can also appear as a milder symptom.

2. Make an appointment with a doctor to have a stool analysis performed. The doctor may recommend additional testing procedures such as ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Take any medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. A common drug administered to treat dysentery is metronidazole, in adults taken as two 400mg tablets three times a day for five days. If a perforation of the intestinal wall has occurred, a hospital stay may be required.

4. Even if the symptoms subside, be sure to schedule a followup visit with your doctor to ensure the disease is completely gone from your system.

Answer 2

Dysentery still IS a disease.

Two types of bacteria that live in water contaminated by feces are called shigella and amoeba. Shigella is the most common bacteria causing dysentery. Dysentery is a disease that affects your digestive system, particularly your intestines, infecting it and causing inflammation. Dysentery also causes dehydration, diarrhea, and fevers. This disease comes in two types; amebic and bacillary dysentery. Amebic is caused by amoeba and is the worst because it can survive outside the human body and spread to others. Bacillary dysentery is caused by shigella and can be mild, severe, or deadly. Bacillary dysentery will kill children who obtain it under the age of five, but for an adult, it just comes and goes. After infecting your intestines, amebic dysentery can also travel to other places through the bloodstream by entering blood vessels in your intestines. It can travel to places like your liver and brain, where it will damage your liver and brain tissues.

Answer 3

They didn't. The disease would have to run its course while the afflicted pumped fluids to prevent death from dehydration. The preferred liquid was water mixed with alcohol, which would kill most bacteria found in drinking water.
