Polio Theory Ties Infection to Wounds and Summer Play
Dr James G Cumming former head of the District of Columbia health department presents a theory in The Military Surgeon that infantile paralysis requires a wound to enable polio virus invasion. He links higher summer injury rates to greater child activity and notes natural and surgical wounds could disrupt nerve fibers to allow disease. He cautions about tonsillectomies during polio season and explains the infection may spread via direct or indirect contact before nerve invasion.
