Essay / Research Paper Abstract
13 pages in length. Schools are hotbeds of disease and sickness; from preschool to kindergarten and through grade school, children regularly trade illnesses that range from mild and relatively innocuous to quite severe and unrelenting. Tuberculosis and head lice represent each end of this spectrum, with the latter a far more common and negligible - albeit unpleasant - occurrence within the educational setting, and the former a significantly greater health risk to all concerned. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Tuberculosis and head lice represent each end of this spectrum, with the latter a far more common and negligible - albeit unpleasant - occurrence within the educational setting, and
the former a significantly greater health risk to all concerned. II. TUBERCULOSIS A contagious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, tuberculosis
negatively impacts the lungs, joints and intestines. Immediate symptoms are not apparent, with telltale indications manifesting more clearly as the disease progresses: fever, weakness, loss of appetite, cough and
sputum. Statistics provided by the World Health Organization demonstrate how tuberculosis has continued to climb in spite of significant control throughout the past century. Estimates from the WHO
estimated a total of ninety million cases worldwide during the last decade, with thirty million of those ending up in death. Tuberculosis is
a highly contagious disease that is spread by fluid that is expressed from one individual to another; sneezing, coughing and other means of delivery are all that is required to
disperse the disease. When tuberculosis is contracted from food borne contamination, the Mycobacterium paratuberculosis organism is to blame. Milk has been shown to be one of the sources
where such harmful bacteria occur. Stemming directly from livestock populations, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis has been found to be one of the most telltale reasons why humans contract tuberculosis.
The cows producing the milk are infected with this organism, which can be brought about through psychological stress; this has been a widespread problem particularly
in Britain. Because the animals possess the organism within their bodies, it is only logical that they would pass it along to the humans who ingest their milk.
