The Sleeping Sickness

        Transmissions also known as The Sleeping Sickness has become a real problem in Africa. This disease is transmitted by the tsetse fly . This transmittance often occurs in rural populations where agriculture, fishing, and animal husbandry take place. A person can have this without any major symptoms from moths to years. The first stages of the symptoms are fevers, headaches, joint pains, and itching. In the second stage behavior changes, confusion, poor coordination, and disturbance of sleep patterns which are where the disease gets its name.  Without treatment the Sleeping Sickness is fatal.
