If polio is left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including paralysis, respiratory failure, and even death. The virus primarily attacks the nervous system, potentially resulting in permanent disability and loss of motor function. In some cases, survivors may experience post-polio syndrome, which can lead to long-term health issues years after the initial infection. Vaccination is crucial in preventing polio and its serious consequences.
