Protect Yourself from Sleeping Sickness
Learn about this deadly disease, its prevention, and how to seek treatment if needed.

Rural Sub-Saharan Africa
Sleeping sickness is a deadly disease transmitted through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. Found only in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, it's crucial to understand the risks and preventative measures.
Symptoms
Fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, and in advanced stages, coma and death.
Treatment
Early treatment is crucial. A course of medication is effective, but prompt medical attention is essential.
Survival
While a tsetse fly bite doesn't automatically mean death, untreated sleeping sickness is fatal.
