Research shows that those who live with or eat Monkeys or Pigs (Pork) must be aware of the EBOLA DISEASE What is Ebola Disease? Identified in 1976 in Sudan and DRC and it is out breaking in tropical regions of Sab-Saharan Africa. It is a haemorrhagic fever, meaning that victims may bleed inside the body or externally, and it has one of the highest case fatality rates (death rates) of any disease, killing between 50% and 90% of victims. Symptoms typically start eight to 10 days after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. To date- it is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria, now I’m scared because Nigerians are coming in numbers to SA. Treatment There is no specific treatment for the disease; efforts to help persons who are infected include giving either oral rehydration (slightly sweet and salty water to drink) or intravenous fluids to replace lost fluids; Prevention includes decreasing the spread of disease from infected monkeys and pigs to humans.
