My friend said when when misquitoes are dead they give you a disease. Is it true?

When they're dead they're harmless.\n\nMosquitos are responsible for malaria, the disease that kills more than any other disease.\n\nA female mosquite needs protein to breed which she obtains from blood, it's during the process of drawing blood that the malarial infection is spread.

Its not an urban legend. But the fact that you can turn someone into a zombie. I have seen at least 4 so called zombies in Haiti

why do you want people to contact you if their relatives contracted this disease?  My sister got Legionnaires Disease in 84 or 85 (I think) and she became very ill.  She did live but has had diminished lung function ever since.  It was explained to me as like having a very bad case of pneumonia that does not always respond to treatment and that they could treat her symptoms but not cure the disease so she would basically live or she would die.  At the time she still had 2 minor children and we were all in a panic.  \n\nBut on a funny side note:  she actually got the disease from a dirty air conditioner vent while she worked as a waitress in a VFW club! ha! Legionaries disease from a VFW club! ha!

Your question certainly gives a new meaning to the phrase "Down-Under" !! \n\nI don't know the legal answer - sorry about that. \nThinking it through, though ... I would say it depends on the land usage situation. \n\n(I'm puzzled by the previous post which imagines that Aussies have a hereditary monarchy, with unusual privileges and exemptions.) \n\nIt might be fine, actually, way out in a remote rural area. \nCommon sense tells you that a corpse would break down in useful ways, long before it contaminated the water supply or spread infection. \n\nOK, so far. But people don't die of nothing, and often of an infectious disease, and bodies were historically always taboo,  because the first stage of decomposition is to harmful bacteria, right? I suppose it depends what you intend to die of <g>. \n\nBut if you have a backyard, that means that you are part of a community, which has people living at close quarters to each other, and using their yards for common piping for water, electricity, gas, wiring. And some guys have to maintain that.\n\nMy friends live in a small town and they returned from a visit abroad to find sewage all over their garden - someone's sewage tank blew up and the effects spread through the system, terminating in their garden, throwing off the manhole cover with gross results. I would be worried about the feedback to the living. \n\nHaving said that, if you mean a backyard as in on the lands of a farm in the outback, well, who is going to know, why not? Have them dig you a grave as deep as you are tall - after you are dead, of course - and leave a few dollars in the will, to quench their thirst, mate! \n\nRest in peace : )

I would get checked out. That's straight-up nasty to begin with, but yes, disease can be spread that way.

it is a terrible disease....nothing to ask dumb questions about..I hope it never happens to you. My mother has dymensia and parkinsons, she has been in either a nursing home or hospital for 5 years, it is a wicked disease

the doctor was partially right, for some viruses. many diseases we get from mutations in bacteria or viruses, from animals, from food, from a new environment we aren't used to, etc.\n\np.s. Any expert can tell you exactly how to contract the bubonic plague (often called the black death, the black plague, the plague, etc.) that wiped out 1/4 of Europe in its time. People got it from fleas. It is often associated with rats because rats carry fleas, and therefore the plague. When the flea bit an infected person, and then someone else the other person got infected, as did anything else the flea bit. And with the poor sanitation a few hundred years ago, and their total lack of knowledge as to what caused it, it is no wonder the plague wiped out entire towns.

they might give you a long day on the porcelain throne, but unless you eat a couple pounds, unless they are contaimated with a seriously bad type of fungi, i doubt they will kill you.\n\nbut soaking them for a while like earlier suggested was a great idea!

I did hear that he has been sick...he said that on the Oprah show. Something like kidney problems. Sorry I don't know more but yes, I did notice.

NO. It is not a virus, it is caused by the spores of a fungus that is found in bird droppings when they dry up and turn into dust and you inhale the spores.\nMy textbook says that it is a disease caused by the inhalation of spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, most often asymptomatic but occasionally producing acute pneumonia or an influenzalike illness and spreading to other organs and systems in the body.

Yes, sometimes, especially if you are sick already!

If it's not treated, you can bleed to death or die from infection.

Since none of us died, we don't know if that happens. It may be crazy survivor stories. Or it could be when your brain can't get enough oxygen, you may have synestatic experiences due to a hormone imbalance.

Cholera can cause severe dehydration, due to the effects of severe diarrhea that it causes. It is possible that hallucinations could be one of the symptoms that crop up in it's final stages (just before you lapse into a coma and death from hypovolemic shock), but it would not be a typical symptom.

It's possible, especially if he sneezed or coughed around you. Just because you recently had an illness doesn't mean that you can't get it again, even soon afterward. This is partly because there are many strains of viruses out there. Your body might have fought something very similar to what your friend got, but that doesn't mean you'll be immune.

yes, and i donate bloond too. when i die i think they will take any parts that are useable. they can have any thing they want i will not need it where i am going(hevean). when my cousion died on oct 11 they took his eyes, and bones . they most likly took other things too. i guess you could tell his bones were taken because if you tuched him he would of felt soft.
