Most of the time, a bacteria called bordetella pertussis is inhaled, colonizes your lungs and then you get the characteristic whooping cough.
The Pertussis, or whooping cough vaccination is called the DTaP for children and the vaccination for adolescents and adults is called the the Tdap. Both protect against whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria.
Its Most common hiding place is in the lungs.
the lungs and chest area is where most of the injury is done!!
Whooping cough could definitely be a possibility. Children and adults with whooping cough will sound as if they are gasping for air during a coughing spell. These most often are worse at night. Pertussis is a contagious bacterial infection where there is an overabundance of mucus present. Coughing can last up to ten weeks.
While people of any age can contract whooping cough, children under the age of two are at the highest risk for both the disease and for serious complications
The misery of the unknown reason for causing pertussis (whooping cough) that has become an epidemic in California may last for a long time.

Here I am sharing my experience of using natural food to help my friends to get well fast from whooping cough, and use simple strategies as prevention methods.
