PLN 12- 37 DU Students Get Mysterious Illness

I was looking at the Denver Post blog when a blog titled "37 DU Students Get Mysterious Illness" caught my attention. In this blog, it talks about a illness going around the University of Denver. It has reported that 42 total of students have been sick, 13 were treated at the college's health and counseling centers, and 24 had been taken to a hospital. The symptoms of the illnesses include: vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, dizziness and dehydration. The sickness has been a mystery to whether or not it is viral or bacterial.

I thought that this had been strange that many students had gotten some kind of illness, but nobody is quite sure what it is. It is very important to keep alert of your surroundings and keep healthy and clean of any sickness. I have heard a case similar to this in the past, at CU Boulder. I think it matters to stay healthy during all seasons. The case of the illness could be common, or could be a specific one. Students should restore full health before going back to school, or it will just spread around even more.

In the world, many people are dying of illnesses, like in Africa. Children in those areas are surrounded by a non-healthy environment and these sicknesses will always spread. The families in poverty, don't have any medical help or supplies to be able to heal. I think it would be very important for missionaries around the world to supply them with medicine and water, which some already have. I also believe that many of us should be thankful for the health and environment we have, also being able to have water, medicine, and any other needs that many do not.
