Yes, it can - but not directly unless you have a bunch of other stuff wrong with you.

How it can kill you is by causing cells to die and creating food for other bugs which can cause pneumonia. Pneumonia will happily end your life if it has the chance.

Bordetella pertussis

Incubation is the period for an egg to hatch and gestation is the period where the unborn is inside the body of the mother awaiting the time to be born.

In the UK all children are immunized agains whooping cough in their childhood immunisations therefore preventing whooping cough.

They have probably been around for a very long time, but no one really knew what to call them. Cold sores have been around for about 2000 years, the Emperor Thiberius was said to have banned kissing because a lot of people in Rome had cold sores at the time. Cold sores was said to be a common disease of prostitutes. Oral herpes wasn't found as a virus until the 1940s.

Whooping cough - or pertussis - is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis). It's characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in.

Pertussis is a bacteria (Bortadella pertussis).

Philosophically,

Disease serves to remind creatures of regular life; providing a balance to, hopefully, not underestimate a broad normalcy in health and life.

As for the disease, the most common route occurs when bacterial transmission of aerosolized droplets from respiratory tracts of infected persons successfully integrates in "your" body..... lexically.

pertussis

You are in pain with the whooping cough because your parents did not get you vaccinated.

people stuck a pipe down their throat and when the did they would put water on their neck. crazy but true

No. B. pertussis is a small, aerobic gram-negative bacterial shaped rod.

the most important thing to do is go to a doctor then get a vaccine before you get whooping cough if not there could be some bad bad bad side affects with this. including the fact that you could die or vomit or stop breathing for long periods of time.

Whooping cough began January 2010. It began with infants and newborns.

Eventully the infectiopn would take over your whole lungs and sufficate you.

Probably. If you are an adult and had pertussis as a small child, your specific immunity may be weakened after all this time. It wouldn't hurt to get the vaccination, especially if you are going to be around babies.

The Pertussis vaccine was developed in 1921 but was not widely used till the 1930s.

Of those babies who get treatment for whooping cough in a hospital, about 1 out of 4 will get pneumonia and 1 or 2 out of 100 will die. Other complications include violent, uncontrolled shaking, life-threatening pauses in breathing, and brain disease.

about 5,000 to 10,000 people die in the U.S. each year.

yes,

why?

because vaccine is a injected medicine for adults that can hurt you so much

Bronchitis in children is very different to bronchitis in adults. In children it is normally referred to as acute bronchitis or bronchiolitis (depending on if the larger bronchi or the smaller bronchioles are affected). In adults the condition is chronic (meaning long term and usually incurable), in children it is acute, meaning it is more sudden in onset and short lived (the child will usually make a full recovery within two weeks).

The main symptoms of bronchiolitis are:

* a dry cough * increased breathlessness * feeding difficulty (due to breathlessness) * More effort required for breathing * sometimes wheezing Bronchiolitis can vary greatly in severity, most will recover without treatment, however in some cases it can require hospitalisation

if you are worried about your child take them to your GP as soon as possible. If they have any difficulty in breathing then call for an ambulance.

Usually that nasty medicine! Probably usually something you ate that day. Hoped this helped!

-----------------------

I have another, more disgusting theory. Whenever I had the cold/flu, and I hadn't had anything to eat (or taken my cough syrup yet), I notice that any phlegm I may have swallowed (through lack of tissue or through accident) came back up soon after.

So it could be due to excess mucus in your stomach :S
