See The Rat That Causes Lassa Fever!!! by Dannieln1: 8:34am On Jan 20, 2016 |
The name of the rat that Possess and spread the
virus that causes lassa fever is called multimammate
rat( because it has many Tips like all these local
street dogs after delivery). While the botanical name
is mastomys natalensis.
There is also an upsurge of the disease everywhere.
So we should all practice hand washing hygiene. Also
all apple lovers should wash them with salt and
warm water before refrigerating them to eat. Our
wives should avoid testing of dry garri by chewing
them for starch in the market. All garri soakers
should let go for now.
The problem is that most of our garri sellers in the
market buy their garri from bush markets. These
garri are often fried half dry and are subsequently
dried on polythene sheets on the tarred roads or
compounds in the villages. These rat dive in at will,
to feed their hungry bellies and in the process
defecate and urinate on the garri, which dry up with
it. If used for Eba, the virus may die because of the
hot water used. But if soaked, the virus is directly
ushered in. Please no one should joke with this
precaution, except you process your cassava
yourself.
