PMB needs to talk on this issue and money be released to fight this lasa fever b4 it spread uncontrollable.
We appreciate GEJ who ensured EBOLA was eliminated.

Omotayor123:
Can the fever be transmitted

yes it can be transmitted.
1. Through body fluid with an infected person
2. Contaminated food or grains from rodents wastes. RATS to be precise
3. Just make sure your food storage is properly kept. Close lids and covers' very well and have a good hygiene.

With these, be rest asured you're safe. And also, after the stress of the day, using an antiseptic wash or soap isn't a bad idea.. Cheers! wink
