What is shick test?
The Schick test is a diagnostic procedure used to determine an individual's susceptibility to diphtheria. It involves intradermal injection of a small amount of diphtheria toxin; a positive reaction, indicated by redness and swelling at the injection site, suggests that the person has not been vaccinated against diphtheria and is susceptible to the disease. Conversely, a negative reaction indicates immunity, either from previous infection or vaccination. However, the Schick test is rarely used today due to the availability of effective vaccines and other diagnostic methods.
What type of diphtheria did Georges Seurat have?

Where is diphtheria?
Diphtheria is a contagious bacteria that can lead to sore throat, low-grade fever, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, enlarged lymph nodes on your neck, a grayish membrane may form over the bridge of your nose, throat and tonsils may block your airway causing it to be difficult to swallow. It is transmitted by person to person though close contact with the discharge from an infected person's eyes, nose, throat or skin. Diphtheria demands immediate attention- any delay may lead to death. The infected person should be hospitalized, isolated and treated with antibiotics such as penicillin. Diphtheria is also known as Corynebacterium diptheriae.Diptheria is an upper respiratory tract illness. Symptoms of the disease are low fever, sore throat, swollen neck, and swelling of the tonsils, pharynx, and nasal cavity. The disease is spread through physical contact and breathing the air-borne secretions of the infected. The disease has been largely wiped out through vaccinations.
What liquids are most susceptible to bacterial growth?
There are quite a few liquids that are susceptible to bacterial growth. Water and sugary warm liquids are the most susceptible.
Can someone who once had Diphtheria pass it on to their unborn child and if so what symptoms might the child develop?
No, a person who has had diphtheria cannot pass the infection to their unborn child. Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and once a person recovers, they develop immunity to the infection. However, if a pregnant woman contracts diphtheria during pregnancy, there is a risk of complications for the fetus, but transmission of the infection itself is not possible. Symptoms in the child could include respiratory issues if the mother is infected, but generally, the child will not develop diphtheria if the mother is immune.

How do you get diptheria?
Diphtheria is transmitted from person to person through close contact with the discharge from an infected person's eyes, nose, throat or skin.Diphtheria is a bacterial disease (corynebacterium diphtheriae) that has an [incubation period] of one week. The symptoms include a sore throat, fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, and a thick grayish membrane forms over the tonsils and pharynx which can cause difficulty breathing and swallowing. Diphtheria can also affect the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. Diphtheria is cured with an antitoxin that neutralizes the toxin. Respirators and antibiotics are used to minimize the complications. [Vaccine] and booster shots for diphtheria were developed in 1920.Diphtheria is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. There are two types of diphtheria: respiratory and cutaneous. Respiratory diphtheria involves the nose, throat and tonsils, and cutaneous diphtheria involves the skin. Cutaneous diphtheria is discussed below.
