You will still be living, your heart will be beating but you can't move, talk, and obviously can't walk. 🚫🚶

Polio can be spread by contact. For example, if you go to a public swimming pool, someone with the disease might've gone in the pool, and you might go in the same pool, you could develop polio.

Fortunately, polio is now a very rare disease. March 26, 1953 Dr. Jonas Salk. He found out the vaccine for polio and it saved many people.

Polio Facts:

1. The first clinical description of polio was given in 1789 by the British physician Michael Underwood. 

2.Before we had the polio vaccine, 13,000 to 20,000 people were paralyzed by   polio, and 1,000 people died of the disease in the U.S.A each year. Scary enough, most of those infected were elementary school children so it was often called infantile paralysis.

3.Polio is caused by the poliovirus, which is a highly contagious virus focused on humans. It usually enters the feces of a person who  is infected. When there is poor sanitation, the virus easily spreads from the feces into  the water supply, or even by touch, into food. Polio spreads from person to person and can invade an infected brain and spine causing paralysis. 

4.In 1952 the first effective polio vaccine was made by Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburg. But it was released in 1954 nationwide, the scale of something had  never been seen before.

If you come in contact with a person with Poliomyelitis you will get it as well. Sometimes the disease can be fatal. Poliomyelitis destroys the nerve cells in the spinal cord, therefore immobilizing all physical activity within the body. Poliomyelitis is incurable but treatment may help. It is spread by the poliovirus. Most people who get poliovirus don't get sick and show no symptoms. However, the unlucky ones do get polio, and the really unlucky ones die of polio.

Use a different FONT or COLOR to answer these questions. 

1. Give examples of  Peg’s symptoms. Which one would bother you the most? Have you ever experienced any pain like that which she describes? 
Peg had a high fever, many pains (in her back, leg, and neck), and she started vomiting.
I have experienced painful leg cramps and the pulling of my hamstring but that is not as bad as polio. I think the most annoying symptom is probably the strong pains in her back, leg, and head/neck.


2. What made the doctor think Peg had more than the flu?
Why was Peg so upset about having to go to the hospital?
I believe that because Peg's muscles and joints did not respond to the tapping the doctor thought that something worse than the flu was happening to her. First of all, Peg was very excited about the homecoming parade and didn't want to miss being on her float, and I also think that she was scared about leaving her home, friends, and family for a different life.




3. What kind of girl is Peg?  What are some of the details in the book that show us she is a strong girl? 




4. What are some of the things that Peg said and thought that showed Peg was scared.  What are some of Peg’s worst fears?
