๐ POLIO EDUCATION โ NOT A DEBATE, JUST EDUCATE
Letโs talk about polio in a calm, patient-friendly way.
Polio is a contagious virus that spreads through contaminated hands, food, water, or saliva. Most people who get it never feel sick โ but in rare cases, it can cause sudden muscle weakness or paralysis.
๐ฉบ In Medicine:
Most diseases donโt have a cure. We focus on:
โ Treatment โ supporting the body
โ Prevention โ reducing risk
๐งผ Prevention (Educational Only):
Good hygiene, handwashing, and routine pediatric care.
๐ Treatment:
Supportive care only: rest, pain control, rehab, breathing support when needed.
This is not a debate to vaccinate โ
itโs just education for our Keys community.
