The disease can kill if left untreated, and creates open sores on the skin, nosebleeds and difficulties breathing and swallowing. Survivors are often left with horrific scars. A lack of medical facilities and doctors, coupled with serious water shortages, in the war-torn Middles East have allowed to condition to take hold, and spread.

The Kurdish Red Crescent had previously claimed that rotting corpses dumped on the streets by Islamic State fighters were contributing to the spread of the disease. Scientists at the School of Tropical Medicine have disputed this claim.

The number of cases has shot up from just six in 2012, to thousands just a year later. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the disease has recently begun to flourish in Syria’s neighbouring countries.

Dr Waleed Al-Salem, of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, told MailOnline:“It’s a very bad situation. The disease has spread dramatically in Syria, but also into countries like Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and even into southern Europe with refugees coming in.

Europe loves compassion above their children.

Australia More Concerned With Dog Diseases than The US/Europe is With Human Ones

Hey FREEPERS! Since the Depp Heard divorice has got the couple back in the news, I was wondering if you saw any stories where pundits connected the dots, that being the story about Depp trying to bring his dogs to Australia during filming of the Pirates next movie. They got into serious trouble doing that because they don’t want any new diseases coming into the country.

Meanwhile up here the 0bama admin takes populations with KNOWN diseases and tells them “Come on IN!”.

How will the disease spread in Europe? Are there sand flies there?

It is caused by a trypanosome(type of parasite) which lives in the tissues. Another parasitic disease, Chagas disease, is also caused by a trypanosome(trypanosoma cruzi) and has already been brought into the US by illegals coming across the border. Oregon had 24 confirmed cases last year.....CONFIRMED CASES. There are probably many more. The Red Cross has had to start checking for it in blood donations. There is also NO CURE for this disease. It invades the tissues through it’s reproductive cycle and eventually kills it’s human host.

Someone voted for the sorry, good for nothing congresscritters who allowed this to happen. Vote 'em all out next election.

Clean the House... and the Senate.

I read somewhere that there was a plan by the liberals to storm congress and the senate and hold everyone hostage in one big non-vilent demonstration staged by bums, illegals and union workers to demand higher taxes and welfare spending.

I think now would be a good time for us to do the same thing only demand they build a wall and stop the migrants now!

And yet when it was Ebola the world was on high alert.

And when it’s something associated with muslims, Where’d everyone go?

Regular American citizens have died from flesh-eating bacteria like this. But so many still want all these refugees — until the bacteria come after these Americans.

It is a serious disease, but it is not new...lots of GIs got it in the invasion of Sicily.

But it won't spread unless the sandfly bites you.
