See The Rat That Transmits Lassa Fever

The name of the rat that Possess and spread the
virus that causes lassa fever is called
multimammate rat( because it has many Tips like
all these local street dogs after delivery). While the
botanical name is mastomys natalensis.
There is also an upsurge of the disease everywhere.
So we should all practice hand washing hygiene. Also all apple lovers should wash them with salt
and warm water before refrigerating them to eat.
Our wives should avoid testing of dry garri by
chewing them for starch in the market.
All garri soakers should let go for now.
The problem is that most of our garri sellers in the
market buy their garri from bush markets.
These garri are often fried half dry and are
subsequently dried on polythene sheets on the
tarred roads or compounds in the villages.
These rat dive in at will, to feed their hungry
bellies and in the process defecate and urinate on
the garri, which dry up with it. If used for Eba, the
virus may die because of the hot water used. But if
soaked, the virus is directly ushered in.
Please no one should joke with this precaution,
except you process your cassava yourself.
