It would help if you can give me the folling information but if you can't give me all of it then alittle will be fine to....i would like to know what it is caused by, where it could be mostly found, who does it effect, how often is it seen, the symptoms , treatment, how it is transmitted, and the host parasite....well that's all. but remember you do not have to find it all if you do not want to alittle will be fine!

you can check out http://www.cdc.gov for more information, but in brief...\n\nMad Cow Disease is formally known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. It is caused by a rogue protein called a PRION. A prion is not a parasite, bacteria or virus. It is a protein that has some strange properties. It is fairly rare. In the UK, which seems to have the most cases of Mad Cow, they reported 130,000 cases over FIFTEEN years. And that's in COWS. In people, its even rarer than that.\n\nIn humans, it's called Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease. In sheep and goats, it's called scrapie. In general, they're called spongiform encephalopathies because the priors take over your brain and whittle it away till it's full of holes. Like a sponge.\n\nThese diseases take ten years to develop and they're pretty much always fatal. Symptoms include mood swings, ataxia, speech problems and so forth. There is no treatment yet, no vaccine and no cure. Control measures include killing infected cattle, and avoiding eating beef. People contract the disease from eating nerve tissue of infected organisms. This includes tainted ground beef.

Usually you get this on the feet, though once I did get a solitary circle on my arm.  Since I live in a very humid semitropical environment, I shrugged and did not think much of it.\n\nAs it's a fungus, yes, it could be passed on, I think, though contact with surfaces or fabrics which have the spores. You want to bathe in water with a strong bleach solution, and pass a little time in between, in the sun.  Also, apply the typical creams meant for this, which you can get either over the counter or by prescription.\n\nI very much doubt that it is pinworm, since this is an intestinal infection.  But you know, how many of us here have enough medical training, and even then we cannot give a proper diagnosis.  Go to a doctor and get it checked out, but in the meantime, don't worry so much.  The worry is probably worse than whatever you have.

Please consult a physician or at least do research someplace other than here.  Your questions are too important to rely on random people who may or may not provide you with reliable information.

Wikipedia has a complete overview of it; including causes and the aftermath. I linked it below for you.

-Toxoplasma Gondii is a sporozoan species that is an intracellular parasite in a variety of vertebrates and is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis.\n-Toxoplasma Gondi is very common and more than 60 million people in the US carry it but few are aware because the immune system keeps the parasite from causing illness. Systems ar similar to flu with fever, fatigue, headache, swollen lymph glands, and muscle aches and pains which may last a couple days to a few weeks. Toxo can be contracted by touching the hands to the mouth after gardening, coming into contact with cat feces (which is why a pregnant woman should try and avoid changing a litter box), eating (or touching the hands to the mouth) raw or partially cooked meat especially pork or lamb. People who are of at high risk to Toxo are people who have inherited an immune defect, someone with the AIDS virus, anyone receiving chemo, anyone who's received a transplant and is taking immunosupressive therapy, and the fetus and a newborn. If a woman is infected while she is pregnant the parasite can cross to the placenta into the unborn child causing birth defects such as mental retardation, epilepsy, spasticity, cerebral palsy, or partial or complete deafness and blindness. \n-Once the diagnoses has been made by your doctor s/he will determine whether or not you need to be on meds. If you're a healthy person and you're not pregnant you'll probably not need anything at all. Symptoms will go away in a few weeks.\n-Just for the record in simple terms. No. It doesn't last forever and it's not an STD. But it is pretty serious so take care of yourself and Good Luck. :o)

It's highly unlikely, for the simple reason that it's not in the interests of a parasite to kill its host. It's far more beneficial to make the host sick instead, and even better if the host shows no outward signs of infection but continues cranking out parasites.\n\nThe most deadly virus of all time, the 1918 H1N1 flu, is in common circulation today -- in fact, you have probably been infected by it! However, its virulence and deadliness have dropped dramatically so it's no longer an exceptionally lethal virus. This is precisely what is expected.

I was discharged from the Navy with a condition that they never fully determined.  They ran a few tests and ruled out a lot of things but they could never find anything that included all of my symptoms.  I looked up the symptoms of Sarcoidosis and I have almost all of them.  I am going to go to my specialist ASAP and see if that could be the mystery disease.

it is an anthelmentic drug, usually prescribed for worm infestations. ur side effects will depend upon the dose that is prescribed to u... this includes ur age, sex, basic metabolism rate, prevailation of any disease, diet or food that u have, other medications that u have, ur capability to tolarete the drug and many more..\nbut if ur doctor has prescribed u this then i feel that u should have it and complete the full course.

We were just discussing this at a family meal the other night. It's interesting to say, WHAT IF the government knew it could be spread that way and didn't tell us. That would be scary.\n\nI believe the chemical process that happens in a mosquito has to do with passing on malaria and similar type things.  I've been told the chemical process in the mosquito kills any chance of passing HIV. I sure hope that is true!!\n\nThe government is using fish to eat mosquito larvae to slow the spread of West Nile Virus.

It's like why you study economy when you want to make any bussiness. We study something, because we NEEDED it! That alone can makes sense. I can't understand if you don't feel the need to understand how's your body work, what disease is it and what type of microorganism that caused it and what treatment is best to heal it, and such.

You should definitely have power point pictures/transparencies or actual pictures of tons upon tons of the poultry that is being destroyed because of the possibility of infection, this image will really grab attention. You should discuss how many people have actually been affected and relate this to the number of people who die every day from things like cancer and heart disease to put this pandemonium in some perspective. You may want to discuss the possibility that even if we successfully treat affected people the virus could mutate and form a resistant type.

Yes I would check it out. Make sure you note whether or not it is itching. Triggered by certain foods. Have you changed your laundry detergent? Any fever? Necklaces (nickle allergy?) - there are many things that it could be caused by... so I would definately go to the doctor and make a mental note of any changes in diet, clothing, or jewlery. \n\nHope you feel better soon!\n-laura

We could use more information. Do the bumps itch? If not, that's strange. I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.
