Re-bathing With Salt To Prevent Ebola Virus. by Emmysteve(m): 5:10am On Aug 08, 2014
I have received several calls and texts urging me to bath with salt and drink the water afterwards to prevent Ebola virus. I am not a medical personal or practianal, however i am very certain that drinking salt or bathing with it can never prevent Ebola virus. Besides there's no scientific research or orthodox evidence to proof that such method do prevent Ebola apart from the preventive measures we read on newspapers and heae on radio which includes avoiding contact with the patients, avoiding and so on. Me i no dey bath with any salt. from Kolonut to Salt nawaoh

Please stop this rumours about Ebola entering Abuja, Kaduna, Jos and other states. People should stay calm and avoid large gathering especially those in Lagos and adhere to medical tips on how to avoid the disease.

So true my dear, rumours in this country is something else, but what can one do? Only God we need. Just this past months, so many sad news. Could this be end time or Americans bringing in trips, we all know they r good @ such
