Ebola In Our Daily Diets by ikenna58(m): 9:21am On Jul 26, 2014 |
Fellow Nairalanders, it is with great concern that I open this thread. It is no longer news that the Ebola Virus has found its way into our dear country and it is of no denial how deadly and fast-killing it is! Some would even acknowledge it deadly than the most deadly infection - HIV. Furthermore, am sure we also know how this deadly infection is transmitted. Ebola can be passed through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness. Now, my main area of concern is this.... There are certain diets we take everyday. Some of these diets are cooked first, others aren't. One diet that comes to mind is BREAD. I take bread almost on a daily basis as does most of us here; and since bread isn't cooked first before consumption, it can easily be transmitted when an infected person touches it. There are many diets we don't cook before eating but bread readily comes to mind... How do we survive this deadly disease? God help us |

Or isn't it possible to contract the virus through our diets? |

Now is the time to be extra-ordinarily careful with the foods we eat. How to avoid unnecessary body contact in this congested Lagos is something to worry about especially for people commuting via public transportation. Going to the barbing saloon is another issue entirely. May God help us. 1 Like |
