In our previous article, we share detailed information about the History of Ebola. Around that period of May 2014, here in Nigeria it was confirmed as a Rumors that Ebola virus is here in Nigeria.
However, as of Friday 25th of July 2014, it was confirmed that a Liberian who was caught with Ebola and quarantined in an hospital in Lagos state, at Obalende, and some few days later, the man was confirmed Dead as we speak!
This has brought serious panic all over the federation of Nigeria. As lots of people are living in morbid fear of the situation, to make matters worse, shortly after the death of the Liberian man, it was also confirmed that another airport official who had contact with the Liberian had been confirmed to have Ebola Virus.
As we learnt in the History of Ebola, there is no known cure and to make worst, one of the leading Doctor in search for a cure for the Ebola Virus has contacted the Virus too.
In all honesty, the only known solution is PREVENTION.
How do we Prevent this Dreaded Ebola Virus disease?
Wearing Rain coat or overall cover coat looking like a local agricultural astronaut is not the best way to protect this deadly virus.
There are more effective ways to prevent this Virus.
(1) Please have a personal hand sanitizer and use it as frequent as possible like every 30 minutes so as to kill any form of germs and bacteria that might be having some selfish plans for you.
(2) Before welcoming your spouse with your expected romantic kiss and hugging , hold your breath and allow your spouse to have a clean thorough bath perhaps with an effective hand and body liquid soap. Soak your clothing immediately with a friendly biodegradable detergent to neutralize any form of germs and unwanted parasites.
(3) Staying away from the hospital the Liberian with Ebola Virus was quarantined will not in any way, stop it's spread among the people. We want to understand that this Ebola Virus is very much different from terrorist who rocks the nation with bombs, this is a microbe that jumps from an infected person upon close contact, so don't be confused.
(4) The Liberian surely did not jog down to Lagos State Nigeria from his country, he must have sat in the Plane with other Nigerians, walked in the same airport, exchanged his Visa and his international passport with airport officers who must have also contacted every other passengers in that airport. So do your best to avoid unnecessary handshake for now or if that handshake is very very important, immediately use an effective hand sanitizer
(5) Do not buy and eat any fruit directly without washing it first very well.
(6) Try your best to stay away from eating any meat that you do not know it's source, bush meat, meat from apes e.g monkeys and its families and most especially your lovely 'Suya'.
(7) Try your best not to put your hands into your mouth without using a sanitizer first ( for those of us that bite our fingers a lot)
(8) Unlike HIV, Ebola can be spread through contact with body sweat or saliva, so take caution when you sit in the 'danfo' buses in Lagos or when you want to out of your generosity, kiss a stranger
(9) Generally, avoid having contacts with body fluid.
(10) Bathe as often as you can.
(11) Prepare your meats yourself, if possible.
(12) Get hand sanitizers for yourself and your families,and make sure you have them in your children's school bags.
