Health workers in protective gear have become a common sight in the Iraqi countryside as Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever spreads.NASIRIYAH - Spraying a cow with pesticides, health workers target blood-sucking ticks at the heart of Iraq's worst detected outbreak of a fever that causes people to bleed to death.
The virus has no vaccine and onset can be swift, causing severe bleeding both internally and externally and especially from the nose. It causes death in as many as two-fifths of cases, according to medics. The surge of cases this year has shocked officials, since numbers far exceed recorded cases in the 43 years since the virus was first documented in Iraq in 1979.
Endemic in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Balkans, CCHF's fatality rate is between 10 and 40 percent, the WHO says. And"very cautiously, we attribute part of this outbreak to global warming, which has lengthened the period of multiplication of ticks," he said.
We just can’t catch a break… freakin zombies coming next
