Protect Yourself Against Lassa Fever!
Lassa Fever is a severe viral illness that demands early detection and treatment to prevent fatalities. Here's what you need to do:
- Recognize Symptoms: Watch out for fever, headache, sore throat, muscle aches, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, and abdominal pain.
- Maintain Hygiene: Wash hands regularly with soap and water, especially after using the toilet and before handling food. Use hand sanitizers when soap isn't available.
- Prevent Rodent Contact: Lassa virus spreads through contact with infected rodents' urine or feces, like multimammate rats. Keep surroundings clean and store food in rodent-proof containers.
