Most of this diseases are the result of poverty, unsanitary (overcrowded) conditions, lack of food and clean water, personal hygiene, animal infestation, lack of medication and vaccines that are currently at our disposal and they prevent so many diseases and viruses. So let’s go again through our list with the 10 most common diseases following a collapse and explain them better.

1.Typhus: Typhus is caused by one of two types of bacteria: Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii.

Rickettsia typhi causes murine or endemic typhus.

Endemic typhus is uncommon in the United States. It is usually seen in areas where hygiene is poor and the temperature is cold. Endemic typhus is sometimes called “jail fever.” The bacteria that causes this type is usually spread by rats to fleas to humans.
Murine typhus occurs in the southern United States, particularly California and Texas. It is often seen during the summer and fall. It is rarely deadly. You are more likely to get this type of typhus if you are around rats feces or fleas, and other animals such as cats, opossums, raccoons, and skunks.

Rickettsia prowazekii causes epidemic typhus. It is spread by lice. Brill-Zinsser disease is a mild form of epidemic typhus. It occurs when the bacteria re-activates in a person who was previously infected. It is more common in the elderly.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of murine or endemic typhus may include:

Abdominal pain
Backache
Dull red rash that begins on the middle of the body and spreads
Extremely high fever (105 – 106 degrees Fahrenheit), which may last up to 2 weeks
Hacking, dry cough
Headache
Joint and muscle pain
Nausea
Vomiting

Symptoms of epidemic typhus may include:

Chills
Confusion
Cough
Delirium
High fever (104 degrees Fahrenheit)
Joint pain (arthralgia)
Lights that appear very bright; light may hurt the eyes
Low blood pressure
Rash that begins on the chest and spreads to the rest of the body (except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet)
Severe headache
Severe muscle pain (myalgia)
Stupor

The early rash is a light rose color and fades when you press on it. Later, the rash becomes dull and red and does not fade. People with severe typhus may also develop small areas of bleeding into the skin (petechiae).

Treatment

Treatment includes antibiotics such as:

Doxycycline
Tetracycline
Chloramphenicol (less common)

Tetracycline taken by mouth can permanently stain teeth that are still forming. It is usually not prescribed for children until after all of their permanent teeth have grown in.

Patients with epidemic typhus may need intravenous fluids and oxygen.

Without treatment, death may occur in 10 – 60% of patients with epidemic typhus. Patients over age 60 have the highest risk of death. Patients who receive treatment quickly should completely recover.

Less than 2% of untreated patients with murine typhus may die. Prompt antibiotic treatment will cure nearly all patients.

Prevention

Avoid areas where you might encounter rat fleas or lice. Good sanitation and public health measures reduce the rat population.

Measures to get rid of lice when an infection has been found include:

Bathing
Boiling clothes or avoiding infested clothing for at least 5 days (lice will die without feeding on blood)
Using insecticides (10% DDT, 1% malathion, or 1% permethrin)

9. Heart Attacks/Strokes: Heart attacks and strokes will surge after a collapse of any kind. Lack of blood pressure medication will cause the death of many but more still will die due to over exertion. They will be undertaking physical tasks they have never done before and for many the strain will simply be too much. Add cold weather to a collapse scenario and the situation is even more dire as the blood becomes cool and sticky and forms small clots that can lead to both heart attacks and strokes. Here is a link for information about signs and how to prevent both of them .

I don't trust source. They will repeat "colesterol", "low-salt diet", "low-fat diet", "blood pressure medication", "anti-statins drugs" a.s.o. (not "inflammations" as cause). The vegetarian route cleared Robin Quivers for lifelong obesity and blood pressure problems. Very simple: More water and less coffee, daily fresh air as detox, alkalizing food, vit D, vit B12 and seaweed powder (a lot of iodine/copper here) is good prevention. Acidic soda is killing stuff.
