Medko’s 5 Tips to

Prevent Ebola

Understand how thedisease is spread

The Ebola virus can be spread in various ways, including through the blood and secretionsof an infected patient. Contact with clothing, bedding, and needles have been linked to thespread of the disease. For more information on the spread of ebola, check outthis presentation.

Avoid areas where infectionshave been reported or suspected

At this time, Ebola has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, with very few cases in the USand Europe. Take heed to health warnings from the Center for Disease Control before traveling. If youare already in areas of risk, avoid healthcare facilities and direct contact with infected individuals.

Avoid eating wild bush meat

Ebola researchers suspect the Ebola virus was transmitted to humans through consumption ofprimate meat. If you’re in an area where the disease is reported or suspected, avoid eating,purchasing, or handling wild game.

Symptoms of Ebola include fever, headache, joint pain, weakness, diarrhea, nausea & vomiting,stomach pain, loss of appetite, skin rash, sore throat, chest pain, and difficulty breathing orswallowing.

Panic is not a therapeutic solution, and with proper Ebola prevention precautions,should be avoided. Even with the current exposures, Ebola is not a major publichealth emergency outside of West Africa. Our advice? Stay cool & don’t fret if thereis no reason to! This may require turning away from the news.
