Just came back from church this afternoon to meet the guys in my compound preparing this rat meat to eat. Tried to stop them but the more I talked, the more serious they got and at a point one even told me that I was getting him angry by saying what I was saying. And what they were saying was that there's no such thing like lassa fever. My prayer for them is that the rat was not a carrier of the disease.

Na benue guys abi

Rat no be rat. The carrier of the Lassa fever virus is the multimammate rat of the Mastomys genus, also known as the common household rat.
