Neurotransmitters are synthesized from abundant and simple precursors, such as amino acids, which are available from diets and which only require a small amount of biosynthetic steps to convert.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Fever, cough, to signs of inflammation, such as pain, are some of the symptoms that can be experienced by sufferers of this condition. Transmission of bacteria can occur in various ways, it can be directly such as the spitting of infected people's saliva inhaled, through food, or the bite of a contaminated animal.
