In this article I want to talk about some of the most common sepsis symptoms, what it is and how someone can not get it.
Our bodies are under constant threat and if a bad guy gets through our defenses then an infection happens where the enemy grows inside us.
Most of the time when this happens our immune system takes it down. With the disease Sepsis this infection gets out of hand.
For example if a bacteria that causes the infection goes into the blood stream it could travel and this is really bad because it spreads. To me it reminds me of cancer, you don't want cancer to hit the bloodstream because it can grow much quicker just like an infection.
Some people call this blood poisoning when bacteria enters the blood stream.
If you have an infection on your skin what happens? It gets red, maybe hot, it grows, think of a pimple. This is called inflammation and too much of it is bad. It's a major cause of pain, aging and ailments.
With sepsis this inflammation happens all over the body, blood pressure drops and blood doesn't go to where it's needed.
Blood equals life and therefore cells can die and it can lead to a complete collapse of your body. In serious cases someone can die within hours.
You might be wondering how do you know if someone has Sepsis.
In the early stages this disease looks a lot like a bad case of the flu. This includes fever and chills there could be diarrhea, vomiting, a runny nose, headaches and coughing.
Of course when something is serious such as this disease your body is going to let you know with different symptoms. There is an acronym to help you remember the signs.
Sever shortness of breath, think of suffocating you can't breath.
Extremely cold hands or feet
Palpitations or a racing heart
Slurred speech
I have never felt so bad
Shivering uncontrollable
If you feel for a second something is not right, go get help because it could be serious.
To prevent sepsis it really comes down to keeping your immune system strong. This is more important in the elderly and very young. Someone over the age of 65 is 10 times more likely to get it.
Wash you hands frequently, get plenty of rest, drink lots of water. Another idea is there are multivitamins that contain many natural antibiotic herbs such as olive leaf extract.
