Is polio hereditary?

Many patients will ask some questions about whether polio is hereditary. Polio is an acute infectious disease caused by the virus invading the human blood circulation system. However, polio is not hereditary because it is an acute disease caused by a virus, and the patient will become ill only after being infected with the virus, and it is not hereditary.

Poliomyelitis is an acute infectious disease. It is caused by the virus invading the human blood circulation system, and some viruses will invade the nervous system. It is called polio because the patients are generally children between 1 and 6 years old. The main symptoms are fever and general discomfort. In severe cases, the limbs will feel very painful and even paralysis may occur.

However, polio is not hereditary, because polio is an acute disease caused by a virus, and the virus is acquired by the patient and is not inherited. And contrary to what everyone thinks, if a parent has polio, it may be a good thing for the child. Because if the parents have polio, the child may have polio antibodies, which makes it less likely to get sick.

Through the above answer to the question of whether polio is hereditary, I believe everyone has understood that polio is an acute infectious disease and is not hereditary. The main cause of the disease is not the influence of the environment. The polio virus invades the human body through the mouth, throat, intestines, etc., and people with low immunity will be easily infected, so everyone must pay attention to good hygiene in daily life.
