For General Public Interest & Well being
☛ There is currently an Ebola outbreak putting all of us at risk.
What is EBOLA?
The Ebola virus and it’s close relative the Marburg virus are members of the Filoviridae family. These viruses are the causative agents of severe hemorrhagic fever, a disease with a fatality rate of up to 90%. The Ebola virus infects mainly the capillary endothelium and several types of immune cells.
Since Ebola was first described in 1976, there have been several epidemics of this disease. Hundreds of people have died because of Ebola infections, mainly in Zaire, Sudan, Congo and Uganda. In addition, several fatalities have occurred because of accidents in laboratories working with the virus.
In the 3D model presented in this study, Ebola-encoded structures are shown in maroon, and structures from human cells are shown in grey.
Ebola is what scientists call a hemorrhagic fever - it operates by making its victims bleed from almost anywhere on their body. Usually victims bleed to death. Ebola is highly contagious; Being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, sweat, saliva, semen or other body discharges.
☛ Ebola is however NOT AN AIRBORNE VIRUS!
▶ EXTREMELY deadly:
About 90% of people that catch Ebola will die from it. It's one of the deadliest diseases in the world,
killing in just a few weeks.
▶ UN TREATABLE (NO CURE):
Ebola has no known treatment or cure. Victims are usually treated for symptoms with the faint hope that they recover.
☛ How Do I Know Someone has Ebola?
•Fever
•Headache
•Diarrhea
•Vomiting
•Weakness
•Joint & Muscle pains
•Stomach Pain
•Lack of Appetite
▶ PROTECT YOURSELF:
■Wash Your Hands with Soap Do this a lot. You can also use a good hand sanitizer. Avoid unnecessary physical contact with people.
■Restrict yourself to food you prepared yourself.
■Disinfect Your Surroundings The virus cannot survive disinfectants, heat, direct sunlight, detergents and soaps.
▶ CLEAN UP!:
•Fumigate If you have Pests.
•Rodents can be carriers of Ebola.
•Fumigate your environment & dispose off the carcasses properly!
•Dead bodies CAN still transmit Ebola.
•Don't touch them without protective gear or better yet avoid them altogether.
▶ PROTECT YOURSELF:
•Use protective gear if you must care or go near someone you suspect has Ebola.
▶ REPORT:
•Report any suspicious symptoms in yourself or anyone else IMMEDIATELY with local health authorities.
▶ DO NOT DELAY! Educate Everyone:
Tell your friends/ Relatives/ Neighbors, Colleagues and domestic staff (anyone really). Basically you're safer when everyone is educated.
