It is a fast killing germ that mutated and migrated from Scandinavia. Yet, doctors today are still baffled by it and the number of cases and deaths are increasing because so little is known about it. Perhaps the most frightening to date was the massive germ invasion the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin experienced awhile ago. Previous to this appearance, it had only been found in developing countries in much less serious form. But now it was found right here in America.
Doctors say it is most often spread through feces waste found in farm runoff water.
This worries many medical experts, particularly AIDS patients and Day Care centers where feces changes of diapers are common. Throughout history, plagues have always reached limits and then faded away. The worst previous plague was the Black Plague of Europe in the 14 th . Century that killed more than 25 million people until it finally stopped, by itself, after a century. Amazingly, two-thirds of the infected population survived, building an immunity to it.
