Ebola Facts

Please share this information with your friends and families and try not to spread panic on social media.

• Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats.

• Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.

• Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from the Ebola virus or their body fluids.

• Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.

• The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.

• A person can incubate the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5-8 days before becoming ill. THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.

• Only when ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and then in other bodily fluids (to include vomit, feces, urine, breast milk, semen and sweat).

• If you are walking around you are not infectious to others.

• There are documented cases from Kikwit, DRC of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult. Children living for days in small one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected.

• You cannot contract Ebola by handling money, buying local bread or swimming in a pool.

• There is no medical reason to stop flights, close borders, restrict travel or close embassies, businesses or schools.

• As always practice good hand washing techniques, but you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person.

shadrach77: I counted 20 Ebola related topics currently featuring on the front page, including the two that have been added in the last one hour. Now we need to spread hope not fear. Okay, there is an outbreak but the continual reporting is an attempt by the west to paint Africa in a bad light. I can't remember them reporting vigourously when "bird flu" epidemic was spreading all around Europe. Let's be wise and desist from helping them in denigrating our continent

nekaa: I wonder o!
Then I guess we have less things to worry about. My younger sister said "provided the whole China didn't die from SARS, that Nigeria would survive Ebola." and I totally agree with her.

Tucees: On the contrary its quiet useful in keeping the eco system balanced! If bats were to go extinct humans may have a problem of too many insects and co to contend with. No animal is useless (except bedbugs IMO)every one of them snakes included have one thing or the other that makes our very existence comfortable and bearable.

Yungwizzzy: The phobia nairaland is creating about this Ebola kills faster than the virus

Danhumprey: Do bats really suck blood? Or is that a mere myths you've been hearing? Can you prove that bats suck blood?

ceejayluv:
Google "vampire bat" and see for yourself. Mind you, there are various subspecies of bats.... most eat insects and fruits... The fruit bat is the ebola culprit.

majekdom2: yea , they do . seen it on natgeowild.
