Karauli In Rajasthan these days, the disease named Brucellosis is spreading rapidly. Surprisingly, this disease is spreading from infected animals to humans. The highest risk of this disease is made on cattle rearers, because this disease spreads more than cows, buffaloes, goats. After getting into the grip of this disease, neither in animals nor humans can be detected.

Experts are telling that this disease first spreads to humans due to exposure to those infected animals in animals. Its serious symptoms in humans are persistent high fever, sudden loss of weight and increase of blood pressure.

The disease spreads due to this bacterium

Dr. Shailendra Gupta, General Medicine of MCH Hospital, Karauli, states that Brucellosis is a bacterial infection, caused by a bacterium called Brucela. This infection is mainly found in animals, but it can also spread to humans. Doctor Gupta says that its serious symptoms in humans are fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain. Experts are telling about this disease spreading to humans, consumption of contaminated milk, consumption of contaminated meat, coming in contact with animals and consuming contaminated water.

Take care of these things for rescue

General Medicine Dr. Shailendra Gupta explains that to avoid Brucellosis disease, humans and especially livestock owners should avoid consuming contaminated milk and products made from it. Apart from this, the products of contaminated meat and other animals should not be consumed and the first hand should be washed well after coming into contact with the animals.

This disease spreads in humans with infected animals

Senior veterinarian Dr. Brahma Pandey explains that Brucellosis disease spreads from infected animals to humans. Usually, when there is a uterine condition in animals and there is a smelly placenta in it, a smelly sequence (secretion) also comes. This disease spreads with this sequence. In such a situation, if there is a wound on the body of the cattle rearers of the infected animal, then it quickly falls in the grip of this disease. Apart from this, it also spreads due to eye infection. This disease does not spread quickly from the infected human being in contact with other human beings. This disease is cured by taking at least 20 days of antibiotic medicine to be taken normally.
