99% of people who contract the polio virus only have mild flu-like symptoms a few days to weeks after exposure to it. After that, the person is immune to the virus and will not experience a repeat infection. The more serious
Polio is a vaccine preventable illness, so if you have not been vaccinated, please consider receiving the polio inoculation.
Contrary to what the previous answerer said, Polio is still a part of the vaccination schedule in the USA and practically every other country in the world. Maybe she was thinking of smallpox.

The polio virus is just a virus. It cannot be affected by antibiotics because antibiotics just cause your body to stimulate macrophage production and these macrophages are what do the eating and digesting of the bacteria. Viruses can become dormant in things called "biofilms" that are made up of polysaccharide sacs. These sacs attach themselves to substrates like walls of intestines on glands, etc. They protect the viruses living inside. Cancer is a good example of how these biofilms cause the problems with Cancer, in that, Cancer will show up in one area of the body and doctors use chemotherapy & radiation to kill it, but then later, the Cancer shows up in another part of the body. What has happened is a biofilm has grown larger than about 14mm in size and it has split off another biofilm that has migrated to another part of the body. A Cancer patient can have 40 to 100 of these biofilms. Cancer is about 99% from infections in the body.
The polio virus, according to statstical records, show that the virus was on it's way out when the vaccination was developed. It is also shown that more people got polio from the vaccine than from people spreading the disease. Especially, when the shots were first given; they were taken off the market for a short time until it was better perfected because several people got polio from the shots. As a matter of fact, most viruses that usually take this path. The aids virus that was started by a tainted vaccine created by Merke company will most likely die off like polio, diptheria, etc. A shot was developed to help homosexuals fight hepatitis and the monkeys they used to develop the vaccine were tainted with the aids virus, but no one was familiar with aids at the time so it didn't get noticed right away. You will notice that the virus was most prominent in the 3 areas of the world where Merke distributed the shots! San Francisco, New York, and South Africa. They killed about 50,000 monkeys to make the vaccine and some of these monkeys had the virus.
I would concentrate on you immune system. It is what keeps you from getting problems with these viruses. Vaccines contain huge amounts of mercury and have not actually been shown in human studies to do what they say they will do. Most studies have been done on animals. And what are vaccines suupposed to do anyway? Beef up your immune system, right? What they do is just the opposite, they only give you temporary immunity to a specific antigen and leave the rest of your immune system in shambles. And the timersol (mercury) used as a perservative ends up in your liver where your liver converts the timersol into the mercuric ion that goes to your brain and attaches itself to the forming brain cells and kills them, leaving you with Alzheimer's disease. Why anyone would get a flu shot is beyond me! After 5 years of getting a flu shot each year, leaves you with an 80% greater chance of developing Alzheimers. Look at all the drugs the FDA has approved and after people die, are maimed, they recall them. We are the ginnea pigs. FDA = For Da Administration, not the people.

Polio is a viral illness that, in about 95% of cases, actually produces no symptoms at all (called asymptomatic polio). In the 4% to 8% of cases in which there are symptoms (called symptomatic polio), the illness appears in three forms:
a mild form called abortive polio (most people with this form of polio may not even suspect they have it because their sickness is limited to mild flu-like symptoms such as mild upper respiratory infection, diarrhea, fever, sore throat, and a general feeling of being ill)
a more serious form associated with aseptic meningitis called nonparalytic polio (1% to 5% show neurological symptoms such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness)
a severe, debilitating form called paralytic polio (this occurs in 0.1% to 2% of cases)
People who have abortive polio or nonparalytic polio usually make a full recovery. However, paralytic polio, as its name implies, causes muscle paralysis - and can even result in death. In paralytic polio, the virus leaves the intestinal tract and enters the bloodstream, attacking the nerves (in abortive or asymptomatic polio, the virus usually just stays in the intestinal tract). The virus may affect the nerves governing the muscles in the limbs and the muscles necessary for breathing, causing respiratory difficulty and paralysis of the arms and legs.

Polio virus has been eradicated in most parts of the world. It mainly exists in research labs. That's why we stopped vaccinating against it over 20 years ago.
If you were to somehow contract Polio, it may take up to 6 months to show symptoms.

polio was once a very popular crippler of children... the virus is infectious (hidden) before it takes complete control and hence becomes active...
