Now, September
13, worldwide is World Sepsis day, so forget about the fact that it’s scary
when Wi-Fi connection is suddenly interrupted during watching Netflix and know
that the real life-seizing situation is Sepsis.
Sepsis
also known as the ‘quiet killer’ is a fever that results from the body’s normal
response to infection gone awry; it results in tissue damage, organ dysfunction
and in the extreme case, death. It may not get the limelight that cancer or a
cardiovascular disease does, but then it kills just the same. Globally tens of
millions are impacted each year and prompt identification is vital to living.
Here’s the
deal: Sepsis can be caused by a simple infection of any area of the body, like
a skin infection, a urinary tract infection or even by the flu. But when your
body exceeds the normal capacity and is happily fighting the infection,
something can go wrong in an instance. It is a flocking movie night with
friends and before you know it, the neighbours have joined in and it has turned
into a house party you never volunteered for!
The
Symptoms to Watch For:
What I found out about sepsis symptoms is that
they resemble other diseases, just keep an eye out for the TIME:
Temperature: High or low body
temperature.
Infection: Any signs of
infection.
Mental decline: Confused,
sleepy, or difficult to rouse.
Extremely ill: "I feel like
I might die" feeling, severe pain, or discomfort.
And here’s
the serious part: If you, someone you know is sick, or manifest these signs,
don’t wait. Make a call to seek for medical assistance as soon as possible.
The main
question arising from this theme for the section dedicated the World Sepsis
Day: What can you do?
Spread
awareness! Other people have no idea what sepsis is or that they have ever been
exposed to it, so how can they tell? Yes the best solution is to keep on
sharing this until the later those who can be saved are saved. Remind your
friends and families of this information because while you be longing your
Wi-Fi be fixed may uplift your mood, recognizing symptoms of sepsis can literally
save a life.
Get
informed, get healthy and let’s continue the discussion with each other many
days from now.
