Mammal blood.... Last I checked, we're mammals. But we ain't as dumb as say, cows that can get.sucked without knowing it.

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.
we still battle with insects ... them going extinct wouldnt make much difference. I just hate that animal.

Actually....I see the reporting about Ebola as a means of drawing attention to our poor public health system.

Maybe it would force our governments to fix it.

Vampire bats only exist on the American continent.

The bats in West Africa do not bite humans.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM T.B. JOSHUA
CONCERNING EBOLA:
“The world at large is full of fear. People want to read
about things in newspapers and watch things on the
television that cause fear. There is another news,
apart from Boko Haram, that is causing fear in
Nigeria - Ebola. Ebola is not Nigeria's challenge. We
should not be hasty in considering it a challenge. Our
challenge is insecurity. It is a strange ailment.
Imagine you carry an almond tree from Europe to
Nigeria to plant it. It will not grow because of the
weather.
“That someone came from another country for an
ECOWAS meeting and died of Ebola does not mean
Nigeria is not safe. It is good to secure our nation,
our environment but my concern is that we are going
too far. It is affecting the image of the nation outside
Nigeria. It is giving this nation a bad image, to the
detriment of the name Nigeria.
“To the extent we talk bad about Nigeria, to that
same extent our name is destroyed. This is a country
under repair because of what Boko Haram has done
to the nation Nigeria. Don’t damage it more. This
nation is safe. If there is any challenge, we have what
it takes to surmount it.
“All of this is propaganda. When a little thing
happens, you exaggerate it because you are looking
for funds. How much can the international
community give to us that can redeem the name
Nigeria we are soiling? A beggar always remains a
beggar. Africa, stop begging – you have what it takes
to solve your problem.
“What is the meaning of African unity? The wound of
an African is the wound of all Africans. The wound of
one is the wound of all. A nation that stands to solve
the problem of other nations will become successful.
Successful people are problem solvers.
“There is nothing bad in securing your nation using
every proper means and educating your citizens.
That does not mean you should use it to destroy the
name of Nigeria as if it is here. It’s not! Protection
and prevention – that should be our assignment in
Nigeria.” #TBJoshua

On the contrary I think proper information and sensitization on Ebola is what we need right now. You can't solve your problem when you lack adequate information about the problem. Frequent news and threads on the virus will make people to be cautious and not to down play the severity of the situation. Proper information will also reduce the spread of the virus. Ebola kills, Ignorance kills faster.

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.
NOW DETTOL WILL SELL FASTER THAN LUX!
