my legs have you a kid alright oh yeah
yeah it’s probably just a simple skin
infection no it’s not look early to bed
and early to rise makes a man healthy
wealthy and wise but not when you’re on
your deathbed welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten diseases that will kill
you quickly to catch dengue you need to
be bitten by a dengue infected mosquito
the only way to stop them is to destroy
all possible breeding places for this
list we’re looking at those diseases
that give human beings very little
chance of survival because the time
frame you have to live after you
contract them is so short in other words
a bowl of chicken soup and months at the
hospital won’t necessarily be enough to
save you from the quick and painful
deaths that these conditions bring on
number 10
auguste disease your last kiss might
just be the kiss of death
this parasitic disease is transmitted
through triatomic insects also known as
kissing bugs as these little guys prowl
during the night to feed on humans they
also take pleasure in defecating near
bite wounds this can turn into a
horrible infection if the pests are
infected with parasites called
trypanosomes eye which are excreted with
their feces notably the disease has
different stages and can be fatal at
each stage if you’re unlucky during the
initial acute phase which lasts for a
few weeks to a few short months your
heart or brain may become infected by
the parasites causing death if you only
have mild symptoms though then the
chronic stage which can occur many
months or even years later can lead to
sudden death through cardiac or
digestive system damage number 9 dengue
fever found in over 110 countries dengue
fever is a mosquito-borne disease that
is transmitted through the ADA so Gipp
die a mosquito which is native to
tropical subtropical regions normally
the virus isn’t deadly and the initial
symptoms are similar to the flu like
high fever and headaches so a healthy
individual can recover in about a week’s
time however for some it can turn into a
fatal condition known as severe dengue
hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock
syndrome this causes abdominal pain
bleeding in the stool gums and nose
plasma leakage and ultimately death
number eight rabies every year people
get rabies after getting bitten by wild
animals which is one of the reasons why
it’s important not to be too friendly
with wildlife while there are treatments
to bring you around time is not on your
side when it comes to rabies infections
the incubation period can vary from a
week to a year but once symptoms are
noticeable and if the virus has entered
the nervous system it can take less than
10 days to kill a person who may suffer
from hallucinations paralysis insomnia
and delirium until his or her death it’s
an agony
no one should undergo number-7
cerebrovascular disease also known as a
brain attack strokes occur when there’s
a lack of oxygen from the blood supply
to the brain which can cause severe
damage globally about 6 million people
die every year from this disease some
common signs leading to a stroke are
weakness in body parts loss of balance
and vision impairment though these vary
depending on the subtype of stroke while
many have survived the effects of a
stroke with only some form of disability
many others have been less fortunate and
have died within a few minutes of the
attack number 6
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus mr sa called a superbug this
bacterium has health experts scratching
their heads
also known as oxacillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus or ors a it is the
cause of multiple infections in our
bodies and it’s very difficult to treat
because of its resistance to certain
antibiotics it could enter the body
through the nose and through cuts and
the results stemming from their entrance
can be tragic it starts off as a mild
skin infection which is usually curable
however some strains of community
associated mr sa may lead to severe
illnesses and then death meanwhile some
symptoms that can appear such as boils
and pimple like bumps may require
surgical drainage while infections of
vital organs may also occur that can
ultimately lead to fatal illnesses
number 5 cholera
quenching your thirst on infected water
can in fact dehydrate you to death that
is if you become infected with this
small intestine disease one can contract
cholera in places with poor sanitation
which is where food and water have a
high chance of being contaminated by
human feces that contain the bacterium
known as Vibrio cholerae
if left untreated a cobbler infection
can cause extreme
painful symptoms starting with diarrhea
it can also cause leg cramps vomiting
and shock but it’s the severe cases of
diarrhea that can lead to extreme
dehydration in as little as two hours
after infection from there a lack of
treatment can kill the victim in a
matter of hours because dehydration may
cause bluish skin cholera has been
dubbed the blue death number for
meningococcal disease meningococcal
disease is transmitted through saliva
and sometimes through extremely close
and lengthy contact with someone who
already has it caused by the bacterium
it is named for the disease may lead to
symptoms like nausea vomiting and joint
pain though they mostly depend on the
type of specific infection that has been
contracted in severe cases meningococcal
disease can progress to meningococcal
meningitis which can lead to death even
if the infected person has taken
antibiotics another fatal condition is
meningococcal sepsis where a body’s
tissue and organs are shut down as a
result of bacterial toxins and
bloodstream poisoning this condition has
necessitated amputation among survivors
while in the worst cases it has led to
death number three bubonic plague likely
the cause of the Black Death the bubonic
plague is estimated to have killed
around 50 million people during medieval
times it’s hard to imagine a more
catastrophic event but it’s even more
surprising to discover that the main
source of the bacteria and the cause of
the plague is the flea
once bitten by an infected flea the
patients lymph nodes are affected the
infection can spread to the blood known
as septicemia plague or to the lungs
known as pneumonic plague both of which
can be lethal
bubonic plague symptoms can appear
within a week after exposure and an
infected person can die within 24 hours
if not given antibiotics and proper care
number two
necrotizing fasciitis known in layman’s
terms as the flesh-eating bacteria
syndrome this is an infection by
bacteria that can spread as quickly as
wildfire throughout the body though it
rarely spreads through physical contact
it is usually caused by organisms that
already exist on our bodies that isn’t
scary enough
the infected may experience flu-like
symptoms redness blisters and fluid
discharge within 24 hours
it’s a rare skin infection but with some
common sense it can be treated with
antibiotics and the speedy removal of
the infected
but if bacteria are so deep in the
tissue that early signs aren’t apparent
and the infection isn’t treated in time
then death will be a one store step in
very short order before we unveil our
topic here are a few honorable or in
this case dishonorable mentions so far
the illness known as severe acute
respiratory syndrome has killed nine
people and infected more than 150
influenza virus particle is roughly
round in shape it has a couple of
protrusions coming off of it in two
different shapes
number one Ebola virus disease this
viral hemorrhagic fever which is caused
by Ebola viruses has a mortality rate of
50% on average spread through bodily
fluids and items that may have been in
contact with bodily fluids Ebola
symptoms begin with a fever between 2
days and 3 weeks after exposure although
strict measures to contain the virus
have been put in place especially as a
result of several outbreaks in the
latter half of the 20th century Ebola
remains extremely contagious it’s so
contagious in fact that medical staff
have contracted the disease even while
wearing their protective gear as of 2016
there are no vaccines to counter Ebola
and its most extensive outbreak was just
a few years prior beginning in late 2013
the West African epidemic saw 11,000 315
people succumb to the viral disease do
