I love traveling to South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa! That is where I am mostly known at least.

There really isn't a treatment for me, oops. You can get things like the flu vaccine but you have to try harder to keep me away!

[Streptococcus Pneumo @Pneumonia25]

Most people can get ride of me using antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. I wouldn't recommend it though, I think I'm pretty fun!

More of my symptoms include lots of chest pains, can't catch your breath, getting really tired, and coughing up some good looking stuff

Watch out bc I'm so hot(temp gets up to 105) that it makes you get really cold.

I like to be spread through contact by mouth😉 that or by the gross people coughing and sneezing.

I feel very popular, 5-10 million people get to spend some time with me a year! That's only in the U.S. too!

[Streptococcus Pneumo @Pneumonia25]

More than 1 million people are hospitalized due to me! 3rd most frequent cause of hospitalization!

I am gram positive! Love Purple! I release exotoxins and are contagious through air bound germs
