5 things more likely to kill you than Ebola
There are other things out there that can harm you...
You’ve probably worried or maybe even dreamt about catching the dreaded Ebola virus. But don’t forget that there are other things out there that can also kill you, and are closer to home than Ebola!
“What?” you may ask. Well, consider these five scenarios:
* Flesh-Eating Bacteria. Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening illness caused by the strep bacteria. It can enter your body through a minor opening in the skin and destroy your soft tissue.
* Appendicitis. That pointless organ, the appendix, can become diseased and kill you if it ruptures and you don’t get treated in time.
* Complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Yes, even in our days of modern medicine, it’s still risky to have a baby.
* Lightning Striking. This stereotypically rare cause of death is not as unusual as you may think.
* The Flu. Though most people who get influenza will recover within two weeks, some will develop life-threatening complications, especially those with asthma or heart problems.
Maybe you’re not fixating as much about Ebola now that you’ve read the above list.You can make up your own mind how likely it is that they will befall you!
