Ebola Resurfaces And Can Be Controlled

 It has been around for quite awhile. I think it was brought to our attention back in 1976 in Nzara, Sudan and Yam Buku, Democratic Republic of Congo.
   This current one is mostly located around West Africa and is transmitted to humans by wild animals. And then from human to human in body fluids. It shows itself as a haemorrhagic fever. That means there is blood involved.. like in nose bleeds.
   Luckily it is rare but unluckily it is mostly deadly. There used to be an up to 90% fatality rate. It seems to  be under control now at a 50% rate.
   FAst action and care is recommended,. a fever of a=rount 100.1 f after a trio to West Africa or contact with the body fluid of a vistum is caleld for. Theer is a 2 to 21 day incabation perikod.
   Even after surviving Ebola you can pass it on. It is still in mother's milk for a while and in men the semen can carry it for up to 7 days.
   A person with Ebola can get a glassy look andhigh fever ( now recommen ded 100.1 F being the infectious period beginning) There  may be bleeding from  various orifices.
   For example the little girl with the nose bleed that was being transported on the bus by her grandmother in Africa to a hospital for determination.(Story in Sunday LA Times)
   Some people here in  America have been tgrtaeted and are recovering, but they got help in time.
   It is not spread by the air or water or food or mosquitoes according to the CDC.
   So far there is no vaccine..
   Some people will see this as a sign of the end of the age. I don't think so.
   But for those who do --there is a survival guide available which can be purchased and downloaded to their computer. So I will offer it to you.
   But remember, Ebola resurfaces and can be controlled.
   Don't panic. but take care.
