Why are There So Many Exotic Diseases Hitting Now? By Chris Knight (Florida)
Tomato flu, now found among children in India, is named after the sores which start small but get as large as tomatoes. This is but one of the range of exotic diseases now playing out against populations across the world. With globalisation, there is the clear potential to globalise disease, as seen with Covid-19. But, cutting to the chase why are so many exotic diseases being seen now, rather than a few years, or decades ago? I doubt very much that this is simply evolution now deciding to work its magic. My view is that many of these diseases have been either deliberately, or unintentionally released from the world’s numerous bioweapons labs, to begin the culling of surplus population. If so, expect no end to the pandemics of the future, and some may not be the relative paper tiger of Covid.

“Why are we seeing so many unusual outbreaks of disease in 2022? Coming into this year, there was just one major outbreak that everyone was talking about. But then 2022 came along, and all of a sudden it seemed like there was a new disease in the news every month. First, an eruption of the bird flu spread like wildfire and that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of our chickens and turkeys. Then monkeypox took the world by storm. It has spread to nearly 100 different countries, and it is now the worst monkeypox outbreak in history by a very wide margin. And now more weird diseases are popping up. Earlier this month, I wrote an article about the appearance of “Langya henipavirus” in China and the case of polio that was just detected in New York, and in this article I will be telling you about even more strange outbreaks that are deeply alarming global authorities.

For example, a very mysterious virus that is being called “the tomato flu” has started to spread in India…
Doctors in India have sounded the alarm over a new virus dubbed ‘tomato flu’ that has infected dozens of children.
The infection was spotted in May in the southern state of Kerala and it is feared to be a new variant of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
There are a couple of things about this that caught my attention right away.
First of all, I think that it is very noteworthy that this has happened in India. There are more than a billion people in that nation, and many of them live in extremely overcrowded urban areas.
Secondly, this is yet another disease that causes sores on the skin. In fact, the sores can actually grow until they are “the size of a tomato”…
The infection gained its name because it causes an ‘eruption’ of red painful blisters across patients’ bodies that ‘gradually enlarge to the size of a tomato’.
Most patients also suffer high fever and intense joint pain, but fatigue, sickness and diarrhoea have also been reported.
Could you imagine having sores that grow to be the size of tomatoes all over your body?
I get grossed out just thinking about that.
We are being told that this disease appears to be “very contagious”, and at this point there is no known cure…
There is currently no test or treatment for the virus.
Medics say all patients should be isolated for five to seven days from symptom onset and told to rest, drink plenty of fluids and take paracetamol.
Right now, authorities have no idea where this disease came from or why it has suddenly erupted.
And that should deeply concern all of us.
Meanwhile, three people have already died in Tanzania from an outbreak of a disease known as “leptospirosis”…
A deadly outbreak of an unknown disease in Tanzania has been identified as leptospirosis, health officials said.
More than 20 cases, including three deaths, have been reported in the southern Lindi region, with patients exhibiting symptoms similar to Ebola or Marburg virus diseases — fever, headache, fatigue and bleeding, especially from the nose, according to health officials. Preliminary results from laboratory testing earlier this month had ruled out Ebola and Marburg viruses as well as COVID-19, making the illness a mystery — until now.
Since this particular outbreak is limited to a particular geographic area, hopefully it can be contained.
Because this is a disease that doesn’t sound fun at all. The following information about leptospirosis comes from the CDC…
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and animals. It is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. In humans, it can cause a wide range of symptoms, some of which may be mistaken for other diseases. Some infected persons, however, may have no symptoms at all.
Without treatment, Leptospirosis can lead to kidney damage, meningitis (inflammation of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord), liver failure, respiratory distress, and even death.
Elsewhere in Africa, it appears that there is yet another outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo…
The Democratic Republic of Congo is investigating a suspected case of Ebola in its violence-wracked east, the World Health Organization said Saturday, just weeks after the end of a previous epidemic.
The DRC early last month declared its latest Ebola outbreak over, more than two months after the virus re-emerged in the northwestern Equateur province.
There were four confirmed cases and one probable case—all of whom died—in what WHO said was the country’s 14th outbreak since the disease was discovered there in 1976.
The good news is that Ebola has never spread very easily among humans.
So we have never seen a true global outbreak of the disease.
But we didn’t think that there would ever be a true global outbreak of monkeypox, and now thousands upon thousands of people are deeply suffering all over the world.
Authorities can’t seem to explain why monkeypox has changed so dramatically.
And they also can’t seem to explain why so many strange diseases have been suddenly breaking out all over the globe this year.
Even here in the United States, really weird things are happening. For instance, we just learned that an 8-year-old boy in Nebraska was just killed by a “brain-eating amoeba”…
An 8-year-old boy has died in Nebraska after reportedly becoming infected with the brain-eating amoeba. If confirmed, this would be the first case in the state ever recorded and suggests the Naegleria fowleri is expanding further north in the U.S.
The boy, Easton Gray, was likely exposed to the amoeba when he went swimming in the Elkhorn River near Valley—a community located west of Omaha—on August 8, according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
We were warned that this era in history would be a time of great pestilences, and it is happening right in front of our eyes.
And unfortunately, what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.
Every single day, mad scientists are monkeying around with the most virulent diseases ever known to humanity in secret labs all over the planet.
And in many of those cases, they are purposely trying to make those diseases even more deadly.
It is often said that “accidents happen”, and I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot more “accidents” in the days ahead.
“Doctors in India have sounded the alarm over a new virus dubbed 'tomato flu' that has infected dozens of children.
The infection was spotted in May in the southern state of Kerala and it is feared to be a new variant of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Experts are also probing whether it is the after-effect of a mosquito-borne infection but they have not ruled out an entirely new pathogen.
So far 82 children under five have been diagnosed with tomato fever since May and a further 26 youngsters up to age 10 are suspected cases.
The infection gained its name because it causes an ‘eruption’ of red painful blisters across patients' bodies that 'gradually enlarge to the size of a tomato'.
Most patients also suffer high fever and intense joint pain, but fatigue, sickness and diarrhoea have also been reported.
Doctors say it is 'very contagious' and they fear it could spill into adult populations if the current outbreak is not brought under control.
It comes as the world still reels from the Covid pandemic — and amid a global outbreak of monkeypox.
Writing in scientific journal The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, medics said: 'Children are at increased risk of exposure to tomato flu as viral infections are common in this age group and spread is likely to be through close contact.
'Young children are also prone to this infection through use of nappies, touching unclean surfaces, as well as putting things directly into the mouth.
'Given the similarities to hand, foot, and mouth disease, if the outbreak of tomato flu in children is not controlled and prevented, transmission might lead to serious consequences by spreading in adults as well.'
WHAT IS TOMATO FLU?
What is tomato flu?
Experts don't yet know what is behind more than 100 under-nines falling ill India.
Although some symptoms – fever, fatigue and aches – overlap with Covid, the two viruses are unrelated.
The medics believe the virus could be a new variant of hand, foot and mouth disease — a common infection that mainly affects young children and immunocompromised adults.
However, they noted the symptoms could also be an 'after-effect' of dengue fever or chikungunya — diseases transmitted to humans by infected mosquitos.
Where has it been spotted?
Tomato fever has only been reported in India.
It was first spotted in Kollam, in the southern state of Kerala on May 6.
It has since caused 82 infections among under-fives in Kerala by July 26.
And a further 26 infections have been reported among one to nine-year-olds in north eastern state Odisha.
The Kerala Health Department is monitoring the spread and has put neighbouring states Tamil Nadu, directly to the east, and Karnataka, just north of Kerla, on alert.
What are the symptoms?
Sufferers develop painful red blisters all over their body that 'gradually enlarge to the size of a tomato', the medics said.
They noted that the blisters 'resemble those see with the monkeypox virus in young individuals'.
On top of the blisters, patients suffer fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, dehydration, swollen joints and body aches.
The main symptoms observed in children with tomato flu are similar to those of chikungunya - a viral disease similar to dengue that is transmitted by mosquitoes and is endemic in parts of India.
The 82 children diagnosed with tomato fever were initially tested negative for dengue, chikungunya, zika virus, varicella-zoster virus, and herpes - but came back negative.
On top of the blisters, patients suffer fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, dehydration, swollen joints and body aches.
There is currently no test or treatment for the virus.
Medics say all patients should be isolated for five to seven days from symptom onset and told to rest, drink plenty of fluids and take paracetamol.
Sponges dipped in warm water can be applied to limit the irritation from the rash, they recommend.
The virus was first spotted in Kollam, eastern Kerala on May 6, and the last case was on July 26.
Infections have been logged in three other parts of Kerala – Anchal, Aryankavu, and Neduvathur.
And a further 26 infections have been reported among one to nine-year-olds in north eastern state Odisha.
The Kerala Health Department is monitoring the spread and has put neighbouring states Tamil Nadu, directly to the east, and Karnataka, just north of Kerla, on alert.
The experts, from the L. M. College of Pharmacy in Gujarat, north India, and Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, noted that the virus is not life-threatening.
All known sufferers have recovered naturally within a week or two.
The origins of the infection are still unclear. Although some symptoms – fever, fatigue and aches – overlap with Covid, the two viruses are unrelated.
The medics believe the virus could be a new variant of hand, foot and mouth disease — a common infection that mainly affects young children and immunocompromised adults.
However, they noted the symptoms could also be a new 'after-effect' of dengue fever or chikungunya that happens days after the body clears those infections.
It comes as the world is grappling with other outbreaks on top of recurring waves of Covid.
More than 35,000 monkeypox cases have been reported worldwide, of which 3,195 are in the UK and 14,115 in the US.
Vaccine rollouts are taking place worldwide in a bid to stem the spread of the rash-causing virus, which has mainly been detected among men who have sex with men.
Meanwhile, Langya virus, which causes mild flu-like symptoms, has been detected among 35 people in China, initially sparking fears of a repeat of the 2020 pandemic.
But top scientists have since assured the public that it is nothing like Covid, as it is not spreading fast in humans.”
It is enough to put me off tomatoes, at least until lunch time, where I will have a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.
