Most of the people who get Polio are in areas of bad sanitation, have drunk or been near contaminated water, young pregnant women and those whose immune systems are already weakened by other medical conditions or diseases. Other ways you can pick up Polio include; travelling to places where Polio is currently endemic, living with someone who is infected with Polio, having your tonsils removed or working in a laboratory where live Poliovirus is kept.
