10 Yellow Fever Symptoms
4. Flushed Face
Blood is flowing just beneath the surface of our skin and our blood’s red color helps to give our skin a red color also. If there was more blood than usual flowing just beneath the surface, then our skin will appear redder as a result. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as when our heart is beating faster due to surprise or embarrassment.
Some diseases can also cause the blood to flow just beneath the skin more so than usual, and yellow fever is one of them. This can mean that the patient can appear to be flushed in the earlier stages of the disease. Their tongue can turn red, and their eyelids can become inflamed, turning them red also.
