The Ebola Virus
<view this essay>.... Like the AIDS virus, there
is no cure, treatment or vaccination. Unlike the AIDS virus which can take up to

<view this essay>.... running up the stairs, at my house, a few times. And I feel that my health is more important than smoking.
The next reason for my quitting of smoking cigarettes is how it is such a dirty habit. They cause your clothes and breath to stink like smoke and they also cause your teeth to turn yellow, which is disgusting. Cigarettes also caused a big mess in my room. My room would stink like smoke after only one cigarette and after a couple you couldn’t even see, which would also get my parents mad. My garbage would be filled with ashes and cigarettes. The ash tray would get filled up and get knocked over and cause a mess.
Cigarettes would also cause an inc .....

Exotic Diseases And The Treat To Humanity
<view this essay>.... travel, new generation without immunity, mutation in microbes, over use of antibiotics, poverty/poor sanitation, and change in human activities.

Humanity is faced with many dangers of a doomsday in the next millennium, but the one that seems the most likely to happen is a world epidemic.

The Apprehensive Aparition
<view this essay>.... of imagery for perception is not corrected in the light of
the other information available.
Like hallucination, pseudohallucination has been used to describe
imagery as vivid and immediate as perception but not mistaken as such. They
are more likely to be seen in response to isolation or an intense emotional
need: for example, shipwrecked sailors may visualize boats coming to their
rescue well before this actually happens. The fanciful elaboration of
perception of external stimuli-for example, faces seen in the fire-is
illusion. A patient who suffers from delirium tremens as a result of
