Over the past few days, Ebola has turned to a household name in every home in Nigeria, The Ministry Of Health is working to find the 70 people which might have possibly had contact with Mr. Sawyer [the dead infected Liberian National] . The main question on people's mind is "Where are those who took the same flight with mr.sawyer.?".. The U.S said that they've found a possible cure for the virus but its not ready for west africa ,Now it seems the U.S now Has a challenge to face with the Chikungunya Virus Outbreak .. Here's an Extract from CBS NEWS "The new threat, a virus
called chikungunya, has
doctors such as Rutgers
entomologist Dr. Dina
Fonseca on high alert.
“The populations of
mosquitoes are at their
highest, at their peak,
so that’s why we’re
really worried about it,”
Fonseca said.
A bite by a mosquito
carrying the virus can
cause fever, rash and
severe joint pain.
Symptoms typically
start a few days after
a bite and can last for
months, CBS 2 reported.
“Your hands, your feet,
your knees and elbows
really hurt,” Fonseca
said.
Prior outbreaks have
occurred in Africa, Asia,
and Europe. Late last
year, the virus was
found for the first time
on the Caribbean
islands, where more
than 100,000 people
have been sickened.
In May, officials
declared chikungunya an
epidemic in the
Caribbean and there’s
concern that could lead
to more cases in the
United States.
“We should be worried
about people coming in
infected and potentially
transmitting locally,”
Fonseca said.
Prevention is key and
experts say to protect
yourself from the virus,
simply limit your
exposure to
mosquitoes. They also
advise wearing long
sleeves and pants
when outside and in
possible contact with
mosquitoes.
“These bite during the
day, they’re fierce
biters,” Peter Rendine
of Bergen County
Mosquito Control said.
Rendine said
homeowners may be
unwittingly hatching
armies of mosquitoes
by not getting rid of the
standing water they
need to breed.
“What we like to say to
the homeowners when
we find mosquitoes
that they’re breeding on
their property — that
they’re terrorizing their
whole neighborhood,”
Rendine said.
Other simple measures
can go a long way
toward keeping your
summer safe, like
repairing broken
screens, CBS 2 reported.
In July, New Jersey
health officials urged
residents to protect
themselves from
mosquito-borne
illnesses
this summer.
So far, 20 New Jersey
residents have tested
positive for
chikungunya.
The first two U.S.-
acquired cases of the
chikungunya virus were
reported in Florida earlier
this month
.
The health department
has found West Nile
virus in mosquito pools
in Atlantic, Bergen,
Burlington, Camden,
Gloucester, Hudson,
Hunterdon, Mercer,
Middlesex, Passaic and
Union counties." God Save Our Souls!!! Source:THE S.R.I.G
