EBOLA AND SALT WATER BATH

Recent events in Nigeria with regards to the Ebola Virus has shown how gullible, ignorant and desperate we as a people can be. on Friday 8th of August (which is now popularly known as salt water day), most of us were tricked into displaying how fearful we are of a virus we know little or nothing about. i came to realize that we get panicky easily as most of us went into our bathrooms with salt in hand to perform the ritual .
The next day (Saturday), a young lady went on social media,claiming responsibility for disturbing all our sleep and making us bath and drink salt water. i refuse to completely blame the lady in question as she just did a careless joke with her friends, who in good faith and caring heart decided to broadcast the news of the newly found preventive measure against the dreaded virus to families and friends.
I was woken up around 4 a.m by a Loved One who informed me that i should go bath with salt water and drink same. why? where did you get that information from? were my response. I found out later that we do not ask questions in my part of the word. it would not take us 2 minutes to search Google and find out the relationship Ebola has with salt water bath.
I eventually succumbed to performing the ritual for a number of reasons, chief among them was the thought that it will cost me nothing to bath with salt water and i thought to myself "what if it   actually works?" I in my ignorance, imagined what it will be like if something bad happens as a result of my not using the mix. So,bearing in mind the warning that i should do it before daybreak, i put some water on fire, added little salt and performed the ritual.
The hype this issue generated on social media the next day cannot be quantified as salt water bath became a trending issue on twitter and facebook. I also discovered how hypocritical we can be on social media as a lot refused to admit to bathing with the combination.
this for all of us should be an eye-opener. we should not display our ignorance in such an embarrassing manner in future.
Ebola is not "in the air" it is not air-borne.
Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.
Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.

THERE IS NO KNOWN OR CONFIRMED CURE AS AT THIS MOMENT
