80 people die each day from pneumonia



Pneumonia is an infection of the air sacks (alveoli) in the lungs that are responsible for providing the body with oxygen. When the infection takes hold, puss and fluid fill the alveoli and cause oxygen starvation leaving the victim with shortness of breath. The white blood cells then target the infection to try and destroy it causing a painful inflammation of the chest cavity.

Other symptoms include physical and mental effects such as: high fever, chills, high heart rate, joint pain, muscular fatigue, aches, nausea, and vomiting. Unfortunately, 14% of people who contract this infection do not survive, even with medical help. The infection can be contracted a few different ways, but can also be prevented by using the proper breathing equipment.
