2 dead in US from disease never seen outside tropics
By Hannah Sparks
August 10, 2021

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm on a rare illness that was previously only seen in tropical climates, particularly South Asia and northern Australia.

Now, two people are dead and two have recovered after being infected with melioidosis - a disease that had never before been detected on contiguous US soil. Melioidosis has now been seen in Georgia, Kansas, Texas and Minnesota, LiveScience reported. The only other known cases of melioidosis in the US were in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.

None of the four patients claimed to have traveled outside the country prior to becoming sick between March and July of this year.

The CDC "believes the most likely cause is an imported product (such as a food or drink, personal care or cleaning products or medicine) or an ingredient in one of those types of products," according to the statement released Monday.

Investigators have taken more than 100 samples of soil, water and common products used in and around each patient's home in order to discover a link between the four cases - but have found no common source thus far. However, genome sequencing of the bacteria has revealed that the four cases are likely somehow related, the CDC added.

About a dozen cases of melioidosis are seen each year in Americans, nearly all of which can be attributed to travel. This is the first time doctors are seeing the illness seemingly originate within the contiguous US.

Caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, melioidosis can take several weeks to set in after exposure to the pathogen. Symptoms include cough and shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, intermittent fever and body rashes, the CDC wrote in a message to physicians on how to spot the illness.

Risk factors for developing the disease include diabetes, liver or kidney disease, chronic lung disease, cancer or another condition that weakens the immune system, the CDC warned.

Lylah Baker
Melioidosis survivor Lylah Baker, 4, spent a month in intensive care at a Dallas hospital after becoming sick in May, and suffered brain damage as a result.

One of the known cases of melioidosis - involving a 4-year-old girl - was recently publicized in Texas. Preschooler Lylah Baker had no known risk factors for the illness when she was sickened in May. Lylah spent a month in the intensive care unit of Children's Medical Center Dallas, requiring a ventilator and eventually suffering brain damage, according to the Dallas Morning News.

"She was a healthy, typical little girl about to start pre-K in the fall - no underlying health issues previously. I mean just nothing," Ashley Kennon, the child's aunt, told the newspaper. "So it was definitely a major surprise to everybody not knowing where [the bacteria] came from."

Lylah is convalescing at Our Children's House Dallas.

The CDC is urging doctors to be aware of melioidosis symptoms regardless of their patients' locations and travels.

Thank goodness we have a good President now. Not some carnival freak like the last one term loser.

And?
it seems the CDC is on the ball and not being held back and are doing a pretty good job...

Disease spreading north from the tropics is a well known symptom of Global Warming.

And Gary, I don't care about your stupid thoughts on the subject. It's an established fact and your ignorant ramblings won't change a damn thing.

-------------------------
I was right.

There is a particularly deadly tropical fungus that is rapidly moving north.

It lives in the deep wet recesses of sweaty fat folds on lethargic angry hillbillies.



Some symptoms/warning signs to look for:

Using ALL CAPS on a regular basis

Cutting and pasting long rambling political opinion pieces from obscure struggling websites as well as Facebook rage poems photographed directly off the laptop screen.

A tiny, shrinking penis.



Oh wait, that last one is an initial requirement to contract the disease. -Once you have been infected, it just gets worse.

wtf is it with you and slow-coal and others.... - staying focused on the size of other guys units ?

Certainly the prog population has an ongoing problem with toxoplasma gondii infections.

I :heart; Q

Global Warming...spreading diseases?

BWAHAHAHAHA!

You are out of your fucking mind!

The most hysterical thing is that the current disease was sent from China to the United States by Fauci!

Fauci has killed more than 4.5 Million people!

FUCKING IGNORANT ASSHOLE!

Prove me wrong. They are moving north and that's a fact.

As to your Fauchi thing? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!



-------------------------
I was right.

They aren't moving north you fuckwad!

Doctors and science is just getting better at detecting them!

They have been here ALL ALONG!

Rare as they are...they have been here!

As for your fuckwad Fauci...

FUCK YOU!

I'll refer to a scientific journal and skip tiktok.

You do understand that you posted a story about a disease moving north out of the tropic, don't you?

Really?

2 dead in US from disease never seen outside tropics

The above is from the article you posted, you clueless baboon.

-------------------------
I was right.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. IT'S CALLED CHANGE.

Never seen does NOT mean it's NOT HERE you fucking twit!

Just because a RARE disease isn't detected does not mean it's NOT THERE!

ONE HAS TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IT WITH PROOF WHICH 99.9% OF DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTREY CAN'T DO....EVEN RIGHT NOW WITH ALL OF OUR TECHNOLOGY!

IF YOU HAD IT WOULD THE 'WALK IN CLINIC' THAT YOU FREQUENT KNOW WHAT IT IS???

FUCK NO!

"Symptoms of disseminated melioidosis infection include fever, stomach or chest pain, muscle or joint pain, headache, and weight loss."

IF YOU HAD IT YOUR WALK IN CLINIC GUY WOULD PROBABLY CHALK OT UP TO THE FLU...OR A COLD!

HE WOULD ALSO PROBABLY WRONGLY PRESCRIBE ANTIBIODICS....WHICH WOULS BE A CORRECT SECONDARY TREATMENT FOR MELIOIDOSIS

FURTHERMORE...YOUR CDC CLEARLY STATED HOW THEY GUESS IT GOT HERE ORIGINALLY....AND FUCK NO IT ISN'T CLIMATE CHANGE!

"The CDC "believes the most likely cause is an imported product (such as a food or drink, personal care or cleaning products or medicine) or an ingredient in one of those types of products," according to the statement released Monday."

YOU ARE SERIOUSLY ONE STUPID FUCKING TWIT!

A racist says what?

We can expect more of this under the dems. Just take a look at California.
