The excess phosphorus from agricultural runoff and other sources is a major pollution threat to Wisconsinâs waterways. It causes overgrowth of aquatic plants and bacteria, including the harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms capable of producing toxins dangerous to humans, especially children.
Symptoms of glandular fever include fever, sore throat, swollen neck glands and fatigue. Glandular fever is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV, named after the two British researchers who first identified it in 1964, although the disease itself had been recognised many years earlier.wollen glands in the back of the neck are especially typical of glandular fever. Most people develop a sore throat, which can be very severe, with inflamed tonsils. A fever, usually no higher than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), can also develop and may last up to three weeks.
Some people become infected with EBV but do not develop symptoms. This is called a subclinical infection. How long do the symptoms last? The glandular fever symptoms usually resolve by themselves within two to three weeks of the initial infection. Initial three to five days will be the worst followed by improvement in a gradual course. The fever usually lasts for 10 to 14 days and declines in severity after the initial three to five days. Fatigue however may persist for up to three to six months. Normal activity may be resumed within one to two months of the infection. In young children the onset of the glandular fever is usually short term.
