Pathogens and Resistance, Diphtheria

This is a picture of the deadly disease diphteria.You dont want to run into  or catch this disease.
A long time ago there was a disease called the black death.It was killing alot of people.Really sad if you ask me.People were thinking that God was punishing them thats rong to think that.Then they found out that it was a bacterial disease.Years later they found a cure..YES.
Diphtheria is a very deadly disease.It usually attacks the the throat and nose.Basically places where you dont want it to attack.Diphtheria is caused by a word called ''corynrbacterium''.WHERE IS DIPHTHERIA FOUND.It is usally found in the mouth,noes'throat,or skin of diseased people.I wouldent want that.thats why if your around sick people wash your hands after every thing you do.
This is an example of what will happen if you get Diphteria..gosh i hope i dont get that
