Blood is the fuel that drives the body. And if that blood gets infected..!
The whole body becomes poisoned. Sometimes it becomes life threatening.
Blood poisoning can have many causes. If you know these things, you can
avoid health problems if you take precautions.
Blood poisoning is called septicemia. This is also known as blood
infection. It is contagious. It spreads from one person to another. As the
infection infects different parts of the body, it spreads to the blood and
completely poisons the body. Gradually it spreads throughout the body. Just
as any wound becomes septic, septicemia can cause all the vital organs in
the body to become septic and become life-threatening.It is mainly contagious. It is mostly caused by bacterial infections, viral
infections and fungal infections. Also, those who are addicted to alcohol,
those who suffer from diabetes for a long time, those who neglect their
health without taking proper nutrition, and those who freely take some
types of drugs that damage the immune system are more likely to get
septicemia. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics can gradually weaken the
immune system. Microorganisms in the body develop resistance to the effect
of these antibiotics. With that, antibiotics become redundant.
In this stage, the immune system of the patient is destroyed. As a result,
it becomes vulnerable to the attack of harmful microorganisms. In such
situations, chances of septicemia are high.
The chances of developing septicemia during recovery from heart disease are
very high. 40 to 60 percent of treated heart patients are at risk of dying
from septicemia within a few months. That is why in such cases it is
necessary to diagnose the condition of the patient immediately and take him
to the hospital for treatment. There is a risk of leading to septicemia in
40 percent of those who have lung disease. It is mainly in cases of
pneumonia. Also, if there is an infection in the stomach for any reason, it
is likely to lead to septicemia in 32 percent of people. Especially in case
of infection called peritonitis, when a hole (perforation) occurs in any
part of the digestive system starting from the stomach to the intestine,
the secretions of the stomach enter the body and gradually the whole body
becomes toxic.
