Non-infectious Diseases...

can not be spread, it is not contagious. If you have a non-infectious disease you can be around anyone when you have it because it can't be pass on.

SOME NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES ARE......

  • Diabetes
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • Skin Cancer
  • Asthma

Diabetes

a metabolic disease in which the body’s inability to produce any or enough insulin causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. This disease can't be totally cured but you can take insulin to control your sugar.

Strep Throat

a sore throat with fever caused by streptococcal infection.
Antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalexin, or penicillin are used to treat strep throat.

Flu

a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory passages causing fever, severe aching, and catarrh, and often occurring in epidemics.
There's no cure for flu, but you can take antibiotics to cure the symptoms.

SOME INFECTIOUS DISEASES ARE ......

  • Cold
  • Flu
  • Athlete's foot
  • Aids
  • Strep throat

Athletes Foot

a fungal infection affecting the skin between the toes. It is a form of ringworm. The cure for this is to where socks that so that water can't get to it, powders so that the area won't get moist so the fungus can't breed and anti fungal creams.

Aids

a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body's cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy. There is no cure for this disease but there is medicines to slow the progress.

Parkinson's Disease

a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people. It is associated with degeneration of the basal ganglia of the brain and a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This disease can not cured but it can be treated with medicines such as levodopa and dopamine agonists.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer — the abnormal growth of skin cells — most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. This disease has to be properly treated.

Infectious Diseases....

are diseases that can spread and are contagious, a person with an infectious disease can not be around people often because that person is most likely to catch that disease.

Asthma

a respiratory condition marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. It usually results from an allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity. There is no cure for asthma but it can be treated with inhalers to help control it.

Cold

The common cold usually causes a runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing. You may also have a sore throat, cough, headache, or other symptoms. There is no cure for the cold but the symptoms can be cured with antibiotics.
