Polio has been around since ancient times. This ancient Egyptian tomb painting shows a man with a withered leg unable to bear weight without use of a walking stick. This means that most muscle fibers are replaced with scarring (muscle-wasting) that is permanent. { https://www.cdc.gov/ }
Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that largely affects children under 5 years of age. { https://www.who.int/ }
The first polio vaccine, known as inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) or Salk vaccine, was developed in the early 1950s by American physician Jonas Salk. { https://www.britannica.com/ }.
Sis. Robin Mohammad encouraged me to put my story in the first Grace Line Magazine and I was honored.
