Ebola Facts!!! by BellaSwan: 6:12pm On Aug 08, 2014
Salt water baths don’t cure Ebola. Here’s how to protect yourself

We are all aware that Ebola is now in Nigeria. Ebola is deadly but you don’t have to get it. Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself and your loved ones.

1. How Can I Get Ebola?
One can get Ebola by
a. contact with someone who is VISIBLY sick with the disease
b. contact with the body of someone who has died from Ebola
c. contact with an animal that is carrying the
virus - usually fruit bats & monkeys

2. How Can I Know Someone Has Ebola?
The first and most important thing is a HIGH and SUDDEN FEVER plus any of these other 3 signs:
a. excessive stool (especially with blood)
b. vomiting
c. loss of appetite
d. weakness
e. joint & body pain
f. sore throat

3. What Do I Do If I think I Or Someone I Know Has Ebola?
Call +23480032652437 IMMEDIATELY to speak with Health Officials if you’re in Nigeria. Airtime is free on this number.
a. don’t go to church/mosque/prayer house - ask your pastor, imam or spiritual leader to pray for you from where they are. You will save lives
b. stay at home and keep yourself alone until the health officials are able to handle your case.

4. How Can I Protect Myself?

a. keep a clean environment
b. wash your hands often and avoid unnecessary contact
c. be vigilant. If someone is visibly sick, notify the authorities and avoid them
d. educate everyone around you. If the people around you are educated, you are safer.
5. Finally…

Many false claims are going round now. Be careful!
a. John G Lake died before Ebola was discovered. How could he have cured it?
b. No one has been cured or protected from Ebola by taking bitter kola. If you feel like bitter kola, eat it but protect yourself!
c. Salt and hot water don’t protect against viruses. If it did, it would also cure HIV!
6. Spread the Word

Tell everyone around you to keep yourself safe! Re-broadcast this message!

The only problem I have with Nigeria now is the fact that we invest more on religion than helpful research. Despite having at least a church in almost every street in Lagos, Lagos remains the first to inhabit ebola, despite Nigeria being one of the most religious countries in the world, we are still among the most dangerous, corrupt and soon poorest countries in the world. Where are those medical practitioners that claim they know it all, those useless medical professors that have no job than oppressing students thinking they are intelligent, where are they let them prove what they have got. But No!! They won't stand up and act now but later say they are not inferior to the oyibo man.

I guess we just have too much hypocrites and illiterates in Nigeria.

We need to really get serious with research in this country and stop focusing on frivolous things as
i got this forwarded to me yesterday VERY THOUGHTFUL

[b]"This was forwarded to me - "This is just the plain truth.....Hehehehehehe! EBOLA strikes "stone age" Africa. The entire continent, comprised largely of backward thinking people, is thrown into confusion. They were praying. Calling on God as usual. God doesn't drop vaccines or cures from heaven. I wonder why they can't get that into their thick skulls. EBOLA hit Africa in the 70s. The Americans took note. They developed a cure and locked it up in a wardrobe somewhere. A thinking society, a practical society, a sensible society. They solved the problem in the lab and not in the church or some other religious houses. They know the solution to problems is not by handing it over to God or casting it on Jesus or someothers. They found a cure and locked it away, for a day it will be needed. We were in church and , praying. So EBOLA hit West Africa and the entire continent became jittery. Hundreds died. America kept quiet. Two Americans got infected. The Americans opened their wardrobe, flew the cure to Africa and saved their citizens. The drug worked within minutes! The two citizens were saved. Not by prayers but by common sense preparation. God doesn't help the praying Africans with vaccines or cures. They die in their hundreds. It's because of their sins. What else will they say?The Americans don't help lazy minded Africans too. They make money with their vaccines, which praying Africans have to buy. Cos they won't spend their time taking the hard route to solve their problems. They will rather gather in special prayer grounds and ask God to intervene. But he does not. Except maybe through the money making Pharma companies in America. Such is the life of those who don't think!"[/b]

To FG. Don't wait and beg America for cure. Mobilize Nigerian biomedical researchers and provide them resources and they will come up with something. Maybe then America may even beg us to share what we found
