Polio is a very unique disease. There are a few main characteristics that are very important. Some of these are life lasting while others are temporary. You can experience headaches, fever, sore throat, vomiting, and neck and back stiffness. One other one, that is probably the most important, is probably that your legs or your arms become paralyzed for life, which is not good at all. That is talking about the effects of the disease, but if you were talking about the characteristics you would want to know this.
This virus usually effects people in summer months or in tropical climates. It is rapidly inactivated by cholrine, heat, and UV light.
