 Treatments
Since Yellow Fever is a virus there
is currently no cure. Treatment
usually focuses on reliving the
symptoms. That would include
medication to control fever, mus-
cle pain, and fluids to control
dehydration
Prevention
Yellow fever is usually contracted
from the bite of an infected mos-
quito. When you are outdoors, es-
pecially during prime mosquito
hours, make sure you are taking
the proper precautions such as, us-
ing insect repellent, wearing cloth-
ing that will minimize the chance
of an insect bite. There is also a
vaccination recommended for
adults and children over the age of
9. You should not plan on traveling
to South America or Africa without
the vaccine because these areas
have a greatest risk for transmis-
sion of the yellow fever virus.
