Polio has been one such disease that caused paralysis on hundreds and thousands of people before early nineties. Though largely controlled, there are people who have been suffering from the after effects of polio induced paralysis.

What is Polio

An enormously infectious viral disorder, Polio or Poliomyelitis usually impacts younger children. Sewage-contaminated consuming water is the most common means of spreading the Poliovirus. It can continue to exist for two months inside the human body; about three-fourths of infections are asymptomatic which makes it difficult for the disease to get detected at early stages. Once the polio virus invades the nervous system and spinal cord, it can cause total vaccination.
