Many people who are infected with the poliovirus don't become sick and have no symptoms. However, those who do become ill develop paralysis, which can sometimes be fatal.
Can have no symptoms, but people may experience:
Pain areas: in the muscles
Whole body: fatigue, fever, or malaise
Also common: headache, muscle weakness, nausea, or sore throat
