ust stumbled on this. On vanguard newspapers enjoy! The federal goverment,Friday, has said that two new cases of Ebola infection have been confirmed in Lagos. This brings to seven new cases of Ebola in Lagos and a second death from the virus. Also, the federal government warned against bathing with salt water being circulated via SMSs and the social media as a cure for Ebola, saying it will prosecute individuals who spread such false information. Vanguard gathered that 139 people are under surveillance in Africa’s most populous country as panic over the spread of the diseases heightens. source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/ebola-two-fresh-cases-confirmed-lagos/ |

mascot87:At least two persons have been feared killed and 20 others hospitalised in various hospitals in Plateau State after consuming excessive quantity of salt and bitter kola to prevent Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) attack. The two, according to a source in Shendam who spoke with our reporter on phone, were rushed to the hospital by their family members after they suddenly collapsed in the morning, having consumed too much of salt over night. They later died of high blood pressure in the hospitals. According to medical personnel in the hospitals where the other patients are currently taking treatment in Jos, some developed ulcer, while others stool profusely, having consumed the table salt in excess.

West Africa is agog with fear of the deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever, multiple recipes of potential “folk remedies” have flooded the minds of Nigerians. Particularly, persistent suggestion that bathing in or drinking hot water and salt solution prevents and/or cures Ebola virus disease has been circulating widely among the public. Today, however, Information Minister Labaran Maku and Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu have both denied “healing” properties of the brine solution (a mix of large salt quantities and water), Premium Times and Daily Trust report, and warned Nigerians against believing such unfounded claims. The ministers advised us to observe “maximum environmental and personal hygiene to guard against contracting the deadly virus” . After receiving scores of messages from our readers who insisted on “spreading the news” of the newfound “cure,” Naij.com has tried to trace the origins of the aforementioned hearsay. This morning, a Nairaland forum user Adesewa posted a message confessing of and apologizing for “starting” the “hot-water-and- salt” Ebola cure rumour. “I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented,” Adesewa said and explained that yesterday (Thursday, August 7), a friend has suggested they “play a prank” on their friends by broadcasting a BBM message which said “the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.” The news started spreading immediately , and Adesewa personally got a number of calls and messages persuading him to follow the mock advice. “All efforts to tell people that I was the one who started the joke failed. … Even my mum could me this morning, I did not know what to tell her. “Please don’t be harsh on me. I know this has gone out of hand. I never knew it would be this serious,” Adesewa begged. Although it is impossible to confirm or deny whether Adesewa was indeed the one to initiate the rumour, the story shows clearly how gullible people easily fall for a simple Internet lie . Luckily, some Nigerians have been trying to get through to others and convince them to be guided by common sense instead of blindly following questionable information. Muhammadu Buhari has, too, taken to his Facebook account urging his fellow Nigerians to “spread the message about the virus and create the necessary awareness among local populace” . He also reminded that “there is no any non-scientific or non-medical approach to dealing with the disease. Any such unconventional approach only increases the risk of infection and endangers public health safety” . |

The solution to all these is that FG create more jobs cos I can see how much time idleness has offered for all to clamour on flimsy case. Although if OP started it., she must be as stu pid as those that took it in.. Propagating false claims naturally is inhumane so whether or not she meant, she was wrong to start.
