FLOOOOOOOOD 2011!!


The flood situation in Thailand is like a nightmare for the people. Thailand’s flood in the year 2011 is the most un-expectable event happened in Thailand. From the lack of co-operation and management conflict between the government and the protest as well as the extensive amount of rains and water from the North of Thailand has brought damages to the country badly such as the death of people. However, it is not just people that are irritated and being disturbed by the water, but animals and environment as well. Most animal has to migrate from its location to other places, some died, but some also gets advantages from the flood such as increases of reproduction in mosquitoes, the mambas, and alligators. Most of all, it is like one of the best moment for mosquitoes to reproduce itself and for it to find food (mostly bloods), this is as well called ‘natural selection’, when an animal is able to became fit in a particular environment. In addition, bacteria and viruses have increases more than twice as much from the flood as well. People had been getting an eye infection which may lead them to death or into a blind mode. Doctors and scientists have mentioned that the eyes discoloration is the scariest issue at this moment. They’ve asked parents to avoid their kids from playing in flood water because it is full of bacterial dedicated to the polluted environment. Flood water contains bacteria that are harmful. In addition, bacteria will able to live longer in the polluted environment which equals to the fact that people will have a greater chance of getting those viruses such as red eye. In this case, this infection will circulate badly and quickly and will affect myriad amount of people.

As well, the flood water may cause diseases that allow bacteria to go inside the blood current. The symptom of a boy, nauseated, watery stools admitted into the hospital after playing in the flood water in his neighborhood. The boy shows sign of dehydration and white blood cells are consisted of bacteria coincidentally the same case happened to another boy. Choking may cause the water to enter the boy's body; however doctors have been watching his status closely until he was safe and went home. This is to warn parents that incase any of these symptoms show up please seek immediate medical attention, since the symptoms of nauseating, dehydration, dry lips, tired eyes or watery stool need to be treated with correct medical care.
