THE HARSH KILLER - SYPHILIS

Syphilis a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Syphilis is caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum.

The bacteria infects by penetrating into the lining of the mouth or genital area.
In some occasions the disease is transfered through prolonged kissing and very close body contact.
Syphilis cannot be spread by toilet seats, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.

Early symptoms of syphilis.
1. A small painless sore

2. Swelling of the lymph nodes located around or near the sore.

3. Skin rash which in some cases may not itch the victim.

HOW CAN SYPHILIS BE TREATED?

If you've been infected with syphilis for less than a year, a single dose of penicillin is usually enough to destroy the infection. For those allergic to penicillin, tetracycline , doxycycline or another antibiotic can be given instead. If you are in a later stage of disease, more doses will be needed.

People who are being treated for syphilis must abstain from sexual contact until the infection is completely gone. Sexual partners of people with syphilis should be tested and, if necessary, treated.

Blood plasma is made up of 90% water and also contains various nutrients, electrolytes, gases, proteins, glucose and hormones. Blood plasma can be separated from the cells by spinning blood in a device known as a centrifuge until the cells collect at the bottom of the tube. Red blood cells have the important job of carrying oxygen around the body. They also contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron which combines with oxygen to give hemoglobin and our blood, a red color. Red blood cells develop in bone marrow and circulate in the body for around 120 days. White blood cells are an important part of the body’s immune system. They defend against certain bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, infectious diseases and other unwanted materials.
