The Syrian refugee crisis just became gravely worse for the refugee, as well as the host countries who are accepting them. The scientific journal PLOS published startling research on May 26, 2016, stating that this crisis “has precipitated a catastrophic outbreak of Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis now affecting hundreds of thousands of people living in refugee camps or trapped in conflict zones.”
This flesh-eating disease has been an epidemic in Syria for two centuries but is spreading across North Africa and the Middle East due to the flight of the Syrian refugee from their wartorn land. Leishmaniasis is caused by a protozoan parasite and is spread through sandflies, including those flies which are here in the United States.
Most countries do not have a mandated reporting requirement for cutaneous leishmaniasis, (CL) and therefore, awareness, treatment and prevention is severely lacking.
Not only is this horrendous epidemic spreading through refugee camps, other diseases are re-emerging and infecting thousands. The numbers who have tuberculosis, polio, measles, hepatitis A, along with many other infections are overwhelming these refugee centers.
Read more about CL and what is being done for those who are suffering. How is the United States preparing to keep these out of our country?
They must have been kissing Brist-hoe Palin.
Okay dummies. We have economists whose only job is tracking Governmental spending. We track everything and whose programs and policies created it. We assign it to the administration who is responsible regardless if they left their wars and massive tax giveaways to the wealthy completely unpaid for and off the books. Guess what? None of them agree with you guys. Not one. How can you people possibly pretend to care about something you know absolutely nothing about?
Okay dummies, maybe you people only understand pictures. Notice who spends the most? Why does everyone except you guys know this?
That is a good thing. Nature’s way of saying, drop dead asshats.
i agree!
Obama in one term increased the debt by 6.47 Trillion where as 43 Presidents from 1789 to 2009 managed to increase the debt by 6.3 Trillion. So stop talking apples and oranges.
Paul Ryan Mitch McConnell Cruz for open borders fire them now
Again Roger J Mealey I’d pat you on your daft head and send you back to school if I thought it’d help. We both know it wouldn’t. Ask someone around you what “we assign debt to the administration that created it” means anyone should do……
Obama made the muslim jihadest refugees into the zombies! Sold his muslim brothers out!
