Some of the symptoms according to the lawmaker include nasal bleeding, bleeding through the anus and mouth, adding that people usually get infected with the Lassa Virus after being exposed to infected rodents, while person to person transmission occurs through direct contact with the sick person.

Ebola which was a deadly viral hemorrhagic fever has gone, now we are faced with Lassa fever which is also a deadly viral hemorrhagic fever. Dear Lord, we need your GRACE to survive this problem again.
