Are you okay? Or ARE high on something. Mosquitoes? Chai!

Ceasar1: These are the Only two means Ebola can be transmitted.

- Human transmission, which is only be achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely ill from the Ebola virus ie directly or indirectly.

Or

- From Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat which transmits the virus to humans.

All other means are FALSE.

Ok. you mean it can not be transmitted through body contact in a crowded environment or through a pool of water i.e swimming pool?

Katier00: Are you okay? Or ARE high on something. Mosquitoes? Chai!

Well I was just thinking maybe. It is my personal feeling as indicated. But If I leave in area where it has been reported, I will beware of mosquitoes

US STATE DEPARTMENT EBOLA ALERT

In order to help our Embassy Community better understand some of the key points about the Ebola virus we have consulted with our medical specialists at the U S State Department and assembled this list of bullet points worded in plain language for easy comprehension. Our medical specialists remind everyone that they should be following the guideline from the center for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation.
• The suspected reservoirs for Ebola are fruit bats.
• Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats.
• Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.
• Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from the Ebola virus or their body fluids.
• Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.
• The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.
• A person can incubate the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5-8 days before becoming ill. THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.
• Only when ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and then in other bodily fluids (to include vomit, feces, urine, breast milk, semen and sweat).
• If you are walking around you are not infectious to others.
• There are documented cases from Kikwit, DRC 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.
• 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.
• As always practice good hand washing techniques, but you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person.

• US EMBASSY Please share this information with your friends and families and try not to spread panic on social media.

How about wearing of commercial okada helmets

Actually, the full report is covered here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/nigerians-decide/18-ways-ebola-virus-could-be-spread-in-nigeria-be-warned/334659043366969

Some of the points I listed are implied from Scientific report

Someone mention testing of foot wear. Maybe the person should wear socks.
