It's so terrible. I really can not understand how with the development of medicine people can still die from such diseases? I read on the medical portal Canadian Pharmacy Online that there are now very effective and inexpensive pills for the prevention and treatment of such diseases. In addition, there are antiseptics that should also be used to prevent the spread of diseases.
