Is the fatality rate of 60% for Yato disease also highly contagious?

Yat disease with a staggering 60% fatality rate!!!!

It is said that the first suspected case of Yato disease after eating liver domestically has been reported.

 

 

Yato disease is transmitted when bitten or come into contact with wild rodents, including wild rabbits.

It can also be transmitted to humans through mosquitoes or ticks that have fed on dogs or cats.

 

In Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province, on the 29th of last month, due to abdominal pain and fever symptoms

A man in his 20s who was hospitalized at a hospital within the district tested positive for Yato bacteria in a blood test.

So, I ordered a serological test to determine whether Yato disease is confirmed.

 

 

It is understood that Mr. A experienced symptoms after eating beef liver at a small intestine and beef tripe restaurant near his house on the 24th of last month.

 

Fortunately, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency reported a suspected case of Yatobyeong, a first-class infectious disease.

They mentioned that the likelihood of a final positive diagnosis is extremely low and asked not to have excessive anxiety.

 

Yato disease is an infectious disease that does not spread between people!

When engaging in outdoor activities, you should follow preventive measures such as applying insect repellent and avoiding contact with animals on wounded skin.
