Medical personnel in Nigeria have warned the
public against soaking garri which is like a fast-
food among Nigerians as it poses a grave health
risk.
The Medical and Health Workers Union, Lagos
State council, on Saturday, said that it would
embark on public enlightenment to discourage
drinking of gari for now to prevent Lassa fever,
according to the Nigerian Tribune.
Mr Razak Adeofalade, Chairman of the union,
stated this in an interview with the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. According to him, the
house rats that caused Lassa fever are mostly in
contact with Nigerian most staple food, gari, a
cassava product.
"We are going to encourage members of the
public to stop drinking gari at this moment, it is
better that the cassava flour is utilised for 'eba’
because of the use of hot water.
"We are waging total war and that is: 'War
against Rats,’ and that is what we are going to
do to ensure we do not have another victim of
Lassa fever in the state.
"We will also be telling them to ensure that their
fruits and raw vegetables are properly washed if
they must be consumed raw and cook to the
appropriate temperature.
"The whole essence is to enlighten our people
because education carries a lot of weight in this
whole activity," he said.
Adeofalade added that the union was also calling
for adaptation of best practices for food storage
to prevent epidemic. According to him, the union
is determined to wage war against rats in the
state and public enlightenment on fighting
epidemic.
