Ebola, I know one word that has a lot of meaning behind it, many people ask themselves what is this “Ebola” that everyone has been talking about, well keep your eyes on the screen, I might just have the answers to most of your questions. Growing up I heard about various diseases, but the one that in fact caught my attention was the horrifying deadly disease called Ebola “FYI” for your information it is a fever, often fatal illness in humans and it is transmitted through direct contact with blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons and bodies can remain contagious for up to 60 days.
Powerful is the role of social media in
this digital age, this
disease was trending in the social media globally, as a young individual who
likes being informed, I just had to do a little bit of more research to actually
find out where this disease originated from. I came across this information
while I was researching “Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever transmitted from wild
animals to human beings, But how I asked myself? That’s just a sad condition.
Ebola symptoms may include hiccups, chest pains, rash, breathing problems. When
I actually found out this information, I just had to share this with you.
Can I just scare you a little with the facts that I came across
while searching,

Let me give you some tips on how you can actually
prevent and control this disease
v Reducing the risk of wildlife-human transmission from contact with
infected fruits and animals and the consumption of their raw meat.
v Reducing the risk of human-to-human transmission, avoiding close contact with people who are infected with Ebola symptoms particularly with their bodily fluids, gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when taking care of ill patients at home.
v Ebola infection should be handled by trained staff and processed in suitably equipped laboratories.
