Sooooo...this is what my mom sent me via WhatsApp yesterday morning. All jokes aside: Chikungunya is Makonde for that which bends up. It is an infection caused by the Chikungunya virus. It causes an illness with an acute febrile phase lasting two to five days, followed by a longer period of joint pains in the extremities; this pain may persist for years in some cases. The disease is transmitted to humans by virus-carryingAedes mosquitoes. The best means of prevention is overall mosquito control and the avoidance of bites by any infected mosquitoes. No specific treatment is known, but medications can be used to reduce symptoms. (ie. One Panadol) Rest and fluids may also be useful. - Wikipedia #UnnuBeCareful #MekSureUnnuProtectUnneselves #OffIsYourFriend #MekSureUnnuBurnDiMosquitoCoil #AhOneSeriousSumting Janice Knibbs
