10 Rat Lungworm Disease Symptoms
Symptom #4: Fever
A fever is one of our body’s frontline defenses against disease. By heating the body up higher than usual, it becomes an inhospitable place for pathogens. This slows down their progress or even helps to kill them altogether. Although it is mostly beneficial for us, a fever can still be very uncomfortable.
A fever does not always happen with rat lungworm disease, and when it does it is usually a low fever. If a patient with the disease has a high fever, however, it is a sign that the disease is at an advanced stage. A fever can be dangerous if it goes too high, so it should be monitored at all times.
