EBOLA ALERT

THE SALT AND WATER THERAPY IS A HOAX!!!

Please disregard broadcasts, posts, and other mass communication campaigns asking you to drink or bathe with salt and water as a way of combating Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Drinking or bathing with salt and water have no proven value in Ebola control. Do not be deceived.

At least for now, cover yourself up if you live or move in bat-infested areas.

Apply the greatest possible caution in the preparation and eating of bush meat. If possible, avoid it altogether for the time being.

It is helpful to spread information that helps combat the spread of the virus. Do not broadcast messages that instead mislead people or cause pandemonium.

Drinking salt and water will kill a hypertensive man or woman faster than it will kill the Ebola virus, and the only person who gains is the salt merchant who started this rumor as a business strategy.

One cannot conscientiously make money by encouraging others to die.

God bless Nigeria.
