The TB germ is usually spread in the air. It is caught from another person who has TB of the lungs. The germ gets into the air when that person coughs or sneezes. But only some people with TB in the lungs are infectious to other people. Even then, you need close and prolonged contact with them to be at risk of being infected. Sputum smear positive cases stop being infectious after a couple of weeks of treatment.

Absolutely. In fact, it’s important to set up a system with each statewide Early Intervention Program to track the results of those children being referred. We like to have a close working relationship with local Part C coordinators. Their involvement in the program is critical. The better the collaboration, the better the outcome.

People have caught bird flu from handling infected poultry and from surfaces contaminated with poultry feces. There are a few suspected cases of human-to-human bird flu transmission.

Epilepsy is something that only happens inside your brain and nobody else can catch it. There are no epilepsy germs. If someone else in your family has it, it might be because genes are involved in the kind of epilepsy you have, but neither of you caught it from the other person. If you have children later, the chances are good that they will not have epilepsy.

Yes. You can give the infection to other people until you have been treated with an antibiotic for one to three days. Children with strep throat should not go back to school or day care until their fever has gone away and they have taken an antibiotic for at least 24 hours.

Non-cloven hoofed animals known to catch FMD naturally include hedgehogs, rats, cats, and dogs. At least 16 other types of animals including mice and guinea pigs can be infected with FMD in the laboratory. Horses are resistant to FMD infection themselves, but can spread infection by carrying virus on tack, their body, or mud on their hooves from an infected area to an uninfected area. Dogs and cats can catch FMD, but (as with humans) this is very rare.

Based on experience, around one fourth (25%) of the population is likely to develop Flu, although it could be more.

Yes, just look at how SMS messaging has taken off with mobile phones! Once a customer realises that they don’t need to go through the Yellow Pages™, they will soon start using Phone Words out of convenience!

Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs, but any food, including vegetables, may become contaminated. Thorough cooking kills Salmonella.
