It's Bloody:
Ebola is what scientists call
a haemorraghic fever - it
operates by making its
victims bleed from almost
anywhere on their body.
Usually, victims bleed to
death from Ebola.
It's Contagious:
Ebola is highly contagious;
being transmitted via
contact with body fluids
such as blood, saliva,
semen or body discharges.
Ebola is NOT AIRBORNE!
Really Deadly:
About 90% of people that
catch Ebola will die from it.
It's one of the deadliest
diseases in the world,
killing in a few weeks.
Untreatable:
This is the sad part - Ebola
has no known treatment or
cure. Victims are usually
treated for symptoms with
the faint hope that they
recover.

sanitizer. Avoid
unnecessary contact!
No Bush Meat & Suya.

carrying the virus.
Also avoid suya.
Better to restrict yourself to food you prepared yourself.
Disinfect Your Surroundings

survive disinfectants,heat, direct sunlight,detergents and soaps.
Clean up!:

transmit Ebola. Don't
touch them without
protective gear or 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
you notice them. Don't
delay!!

Tell your neighbours,
colleagues and domestic
staff. You're safer when
everyone is educated about
Ebola
