Good morning everyone, i was speaking with someone yesterday and i realized that some people don't still know the basic symptoms of Ebola or the basic prevention methods, WHO as currently declared Nigeria an Ebola free country but i think its just a matter of time before another crazy person crosses in to Nigeria since our borders are not well protected.
What's Ebola?
It's Bloody:
Ebola is what scientists call a haemorraghic fever - it operates by making its victims bleed from almost anywhere on their body.
Usually, victims bleed to death from Ebola.
Is it contagious? :
Ebola is highly contagious;
being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, saliva, semen or body discharges.
Ebola is NOT AIRBORNE!
Really Deadly:
About 90% of people that catch Ebola will die from it.
It's one of the deadliest diseases in the world, killing in a few weeks.
Untreatable:
This is the sad part - Ebola has no known treatment or cure. Victims are usually treated for symptoms with the faint hope that they recover.
How Do I Know Someone has Ebola?:
Fever
Headache
Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Weakness
Joint & Muscle Ache
Stomach Pain
Lack of Appetite
Protect Yourself:
Wash Your Hands with Soap
Do this a lot. You can also use a good hand sanitizer. Avoid unnecessary contact!
No Bush Meat & Suya.
Bush meat may be carrying the virus.
Also avoid suya.
Better to restrict yourself to food you prepared yourself.
Disinfect Your Surroundings
The virus cannot survive disinfectants,heat, direct sunlight, detergents and soaps.
Clean up!:
Fumigate If you have Pests.
Rodents can be carriers of Ebola.
Fumigate your environment & dispose off the carcasses properly!
Don't Touch Carcasses
Dead bodies can still transmit Ebola. Don't touch them without protective gear or avoid them altogether.
Protect Yourself:
Use protective gear if you must care or go near someone you suspect has Ebola.
Report:
Report any suspicious symptoms in yourself or anyone else IMMEDIATELY you notice them. Don't delay!!
Educate Everyone:
Tell your neighbors, colleagues and domestic staff. You're safer when everyone is educated about Ebola.
