Health is a very special ingredient in the well being of all living organisms. And in it does man live… However, if life is taken as a coin, it must have another side. This is common to everything around the sphere: good must be accompanied by bad and worse must be accompanied by best. On the abnormal equation of life are diseases. And no one is 100% immune to them. This dictionary brings you what fits best and tackles the haunting side of the life equation. Each entry lists the Disease, the Symptoms, the Transmitting agent, Notes and Preventive measures (or treatment). The dictionary follows the alphabetical order from A – Z and includes all necessary details the reader needs to understand and counter. All terms have been written/simplified to the level best of readers/consumers grasp/understanding. Extra environmental and health articles are included. It’s hoped biology and medical students, as well as health conscious professionals and consumers will find this dictionary essential. Includes a section of First Aid.
