During the gold rush when everybody was coming to Alaska someone must have had Diphtheria and it spread really fast. Diphtheria lives in your mouth, nose and throat. The dieses can spread when you cough or through dirty cloths. You can get Diphtheria more than once if you get have had Diphtheria and you don’t get vaccinated you could get it again. By Swindle, Belle, and Arwen
 * Balto is an amazing dog who saved a lot of lives. It all started when Nome had the great gold rush. The population had grown to 20,000 at that time. Diphtheria came to Nome. The disease was so bad it made over 18,000 die. By the time they got medicine there were only 1,400 people left. When they found the Serum It was in Anchorage. They tried to send the Serum by train but the train got stuck in bad weather. That’s when they started using mushers. They could have made the Serum, but they didn’t have the right equipment in Nome so they had to find it.
