- Ontario and Quebec are seeing an increase in the number of patients experiencing an invasive form of group A streptococcus. The illness is common but can be serious when bacteria spreads to the blood or deep tissue and needs to be treated quickly. Dr. Anna Banerji, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, says that parents should be watching out for a sore throat with a fever and pus, swollen lymph glands, abdominal pain or a headache. Symptoms are more than a typical cold, and people should see a doctor right away.

They could have mentioned what provinces now allow pharmacists to test for streptococcus and prescribe antibiotics without the need to wait days for a doctor appointment.
@Punkrock Noir good luck with your next bacterial infection. 🤣
Academic 2.0
@Punkrock Noir Hope you'll soon find out what having a so-called "broken" body is like, mortal.
Can do it in Alberta! Shoppers. 30 bucks. And they’ll do a strep test and give you antibiotics there
@kslice as of June 1st BC approved pharmacies as well.
All you people do is complain, if they didn't tell you about this you would be upset that they are keeping it from you. They tell you and you complain. There is nothing to make you happy is there?
😂😂😂😁😁😁😜. Not until we get a big old sorry from the establishment. 😝.
@@Anonymous_Whisper For what? Lol
@@coffeelover1763 many things in the last decade.. but mostly the last 3 years. If they will apologize for being tyrants liars and thiefs. Maybe they will get a thank you. Noone is afraid anymore . News needs to stop all the fear and lies.
She forgot to mention vomiting as a symptom.
Everyone just stopped washing their hands🤦♀️
part of the audio is not clear.
Great explanation of invasive strep and what to look for. Thanks!
After the COVID vaccine mess, what you should know by now is not to take a vaccine for Strep A either.
There is no such thing as a vaccine for strep.
@@warrensteel9954 Don't worry. This is advanced marketing for a Strep vaccine.
*COVID VACCINE MESS? THERE WASN’T ANY UNLESS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE IMAGINARY MESS ANTI-VACCINE PEOPLE DID IN THEIR MINDS. VACCINES ARE HELPFUL AND PEOPLE SHOULD EDUCATE THEMSELVES.*
I need to be in a place where I can safely think about my kid again.
@@RonWuerch*VACCINES ARE GOOD AND NOT HARMFUL, TO THINK OF IT LIKE THAT IS DANGEROUS*
More fear, more fear by all means, makes people fearful all over again. Are you going to start turning people against each other again, or is it too soon for that?
It's never to soon😏
It never stopped
I was never fearful and glad I wasn't. So many young people suddenly dying,getting heart damage they never had after getting the vaccine. Every single person I know who was vaccinated got covid after every shot and booster. Yet, they keep pushing the shot. There's a long list of side effects on the official CDC website.
Scam demic 2.0?
I do t know. I’m in Alberta. Everyone I know has had it. And keeps getting it. This is my third or 4th time on antibiotics . My son has been on it 3 times. My daughter just finished her first round . And literally everyone. I know has been dealing with this in their school
Just get vaccinated okay? Your immune system is fine.
So because we aren’t wearing masks anymore we are more susceptible to Step A? Maybe I’m missed something or misunderstood her explanation, but what was the causation for the outbreak 10 years ago when no one masked except for those who’s career required them to do so?
We need to consume more vaccines...as many as our bodies can tolerate to keep us healthy.
just more mainstream media fear mongering, getting us ready for the next intentionally released deadly pathogen.
No. It is the covid infections that lowers the immun system.
or the covid vaccine. everyone I know who got the vaccine got covid shortly after. Same with every booster they took. plus myocarditis heart damage they didn't have before the vaccine. I will stay away from all vaccines.
Beautiful news host 😍
😢
I could really go for another lockdown .
I miss lockdown so so much
And mandates...more vaccines, news...scary terrifying news that everyone us dying. Good times.
Thais a lot
They should probably institute temporary lockdowns for a bit
Why? Strep A can easily be cured with antibiotics
😂😂😂😂
I think 2 weeks should take care of it
@@Nomad_Briggswe need more vaccines...as many as we can tolerate to be healthy. This is the way. The only way to be healthy.
....... Oh no be afraid
As someone who's currently battling a strep infection that was not from a close contact, go ingest a sack of Richards.
@@warrensteel9954 how do you know where it came from? LoL 😅. Also you should be happy you immune system is now stronger.
@Franklin Fleming I know that no one I know has strep, so logic dictates it was not from anyone I had direct contact with. Bacterial infections DON'T make the immune system stronger. You can reinfect yourself with strep within days by failing to sterilize your toothbrush, water bottle, or pillow between day 3 and 7 of antibiotics. Now eat a bigger sack of Richards.
Stop all the damn french kissing
Another data point in favour of Post covid immune dysfunction
.... Right the Rona... Not the jibby jabby
@@Anonymous_Whisper when you consider these exact same things are being found in countries that never got the ‘jibby jabby’ because corporate profits & Bill Gates interest in protecting IP mattered more than human lives then yeah…. I mean the Rona.
It is the Rona.
Whoever is paying you to do the bidding of the aristocrats really must be getting their moneys worth. But then, aristocratic courts are full of obsequious fools aren’t they?
Because our immune systems were so good at handling strep before covid, eh?🤣
@@warrensteel9954 invasive group A strep…
Is not something humans want to be playing around with at any time. That said, there has been a huge uptake in it all over the globe post covid. Regardless of the countries vaccination access I might add. What’s the common denominator? Covid infections
@Jess D I've had two strep infections in the 39 years before covid, and I am currently managing my first infection after covid. It's not "invasive," but it's proving more difficult to get rid of than the last two. Too many people take antibiotics for granted and don't realize their days of effectiveness are numbered.
