Ebola Is Not A Worm And Drinking Salt Cannot Stop Transmission by mikedanza(m): 4:32am On Aug 08, 2014
Haba Nigerians!

I have got calls in the early hours of the morning...suddenly rumours flying around for people to take their bath with salt in the water and to drink some! Haba!!

They premise it on worms dying by coming in contact with salt!

EBOLA IS A VIRUS AND NOT A WORM AND DRINKING SALT WILL NOT AND CANNOT PREVENT INFECTION!!

WASH HANDS AFTER EVERY OUTING WITH SOAP AND WATER!! AVOID TOUCHING VERY SICK PEOPLE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS, IF POSSIBLE USE LATEX GLOVES FOR THE VERY SICK!!!

SPREAD BEST PRACTICES NOT FEAR!!!

Re: Ebola Is Not A Worm And Drinking Salt Cannot Stop Transmission by Oyimzy(m): 5:35am On Aug 08, 2014
BATHING WITH SALT SOLUTION to prevent ebola is NOT scientific. This is an unnecessary promulgation to cause tension. Transmission is via body fluids (blood, saliva,sweat,semen, vagina discharge etc ) n not air. Avoid contact with sick people, avoid bush meat n suya, limit handshakes (n wash hands regularly). kissing, coitus (sex) can transmit d virus. Avoid half-eaten fruits by birds. virus is present in Monkeys, bats, bush animals etc. Death rate is 90% (i.e if 10 are affected, 9 are likely to die). Be Cautious but dont panic. Report every suspected cases of haemorrhagic fever on time. I pray that Ebola virus shall not find u or any of ur family members in Jesus name Amen.

Re: Ebola Is Not A Worm And Drinking Salt Cannot Stop Transmission by Nazcoj(m): 7:41am On Aug 08, 2014
Ignorance surely is more deadly than Ebola itself... Lack of knowledge is more infectious than the ebola... So Nigeria ebola is now different from that of other countries... So USA are too foolish enough to invest millions in research for ebola cure when salt mixed with hot water(according to my people) can serve as a preventive measures... So if it is true, there would have been no one alive in countries like Sierra leone, Liberia, Guinea, Zaire, etc
The pandemonium this news has cAused will simply result as follows:
1. Rapid increment in the price of salt.
2. The network providers i.e MTN, GLO, ETISALAT, AIRTEL and etc will declare the highest dividends come the end of the quarter.
