===Sense modern technology.:Did you know that sometimes being exposed to germs helps build a wall of defense against diseases? If you are a young child and you are exposed to Polio, the symptoms won’t be as bad as if you are older. If you are older you can face death or be paralysis. Some ways to treat it is to take antibiotics, you should but a warm towel or a heating pad to help the muscle pain and the spasms, pain killers for getting rid of headaches, lots of rest/sleep, exercise to help keep deformity from happening and loss of muscle function, and a nutrients diet.===

For Polio to be “considered” active would have to have a vaccine. Most people who has had a vaccine usually don’t get sick, but some unlucky ones do .Some of the viruses that they don’t know they have to compare it to the three that they already know. This way of finding a treatment for these unknown viruses is boring and could to one day to a couple of weeks. Then Dr. Jonas Salk would hopefully find an effective vaccine.
