Ebola Facts
• One thing you should note is that the transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats and Monkeys. The origination of Ebola virus came from Bats.
• Avoid eating any undercooked or infected bat and bush meat. these are the few means which this virus is transmits to humans.
• One thing we need to know about the human to human transmission, is that it is ONLY POSSIBLE by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from the Ebola virus or their body fluids. This is to say, humans can only be infected by another human who is gravely ill and bleeding from their body (When the virus is visible).
• Please note that the transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.
• This virus is almost not communicable through exchange of cloth, because the Ebola virus could easily be killed by coming in contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.
• Another false information is that when anyone is infected wit Ebola virus, they could easily get others infected, well the truth is that ALL INFECTED PERSONS ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.
• Person can incubate the ebola virus without symptoms for 2-21 days and the average being five (5) days to eight (8) days before becoming gravely ill.
• Only when the infected person is ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and then in other bodily fluids (which also includes vomit, feces, urine, breast milk, semen and sweat).
• Even when someone who is infected with the virus is walking around, medically speaking, they CAN’T be infectious to others.
• There are documented cases from Kikwit, DR Congo of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult. Children living for days in small one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected with the disease, mainly because they never touch anyone effected with the virus.
• The truth about this virus is that YOU CANNOT contract Ebola by handling money, buying local bread or swimming in a pool.
• There is no medical reason to stop flights, close borders, restrict travel or close embassies, businesses or schools because of this virus.
• Please you should learn to always practice good hand washing techniques. However, you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person or animal.
