Ever since the outbreak of the Ebola Fever in Lagos, Nigeria, they have been numerous versions how the disease is being contracted and spread, considering its lethal nature, one of which is the virus’s ability to thrive on outer body tissues unlike the HIV virus which is transmitted through blood.
It has been
scientifically proven fact about If the ebola virus contacts a person's skin, this does not mean the person is then automatically infected by the virus. The virus is not active until it gains access into a person's mucous membrane. Mucous membranes are those pink fleshy places in the openings of the body like the eyes, nose, inner ears, mouth, anus, opening of the penis and vagina or any wound on any part of the body.
So if the virus is on the skin of the hand, it is easy for the virus to enter the mucous membrane because people touch these parts of the body with their fingers. The hands are very important. This is why we encourage everybody to wash their hands often and rub sanitizers. This limits the possibility of being infected. Spread the knowledge, not the fear. Facts will save you, not fear. Together we can win the battle against ebola.
It is also important to consider the following tips:
• Wash your hands always.
• If possible, buy your personal clipper.
• Avoid picking your nose or sticking fingers in your ears.
• Do not share ear phones, especially the tiny ones that will have to go inside your ear hole.
• Use tissue papers to clear catarrh from your nose.
