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?
The CDC bears a huge respo,sibility in whole charade. They arerespo,sible to keep the American Public save from these outbreaks of disease. But no, were inviti,g them here without being screened for these diseases. I know a few people have refused to immunize their kids here, big mistake. They are assuming since we rarely see any of the diseases we immunize for that they don’t exist. Youre bout ready to see the results of that thinking.
F**k them all
Gotta love obamas vetting process !!! the fucking fool !!
KARMA IS A$#%&!@*
Another reason to keep them out of the country!!?
I think God is trying to wipe them out. Look at the other diseases they brought with them. We need for them to leave.
Maybe he should be invited to the white house None of the syrian ever had any shots so they are bring in all kinds of sickness so we are in trouble and so are kids they have to go to school with
They are Lepers
When people came over through Ellis island, they weren’t let on the mainland if they had an infectious disease…..
The powers that are in office now are going to destroy America from within….
