This past week, within five days, 70 children died in India. The surprising deaths were due to a disease from Japan called Encephalitis. Encephalitis is a fatal brain disease that is passed onto a human through mosquitos. Half of the deaths occurred to the closing of the lungs and the ability to receive oxygen. As of now, this disease is incurable.
