Ebola transmission precautions are strigent mesaures established for protection agianst the lethal virus known as ebola.
The Ebola pathogen is broadcast thru contact with an infected person through skin, bodily fluids, tissues and/or blood. The pathogen isn't airborne which increases the effectiveness of basic Ebola transmission precautions to prevent the dissemination of the disease.
5 Ebola Transmission Precautions
1. Avoidance
Avoid travel to any areas where the Ebola pathogen has been spotted, particularly in Africa where pandemics are becoming extensive. Any contact with patients, or the remains of patients, who have contracted the illness should also be avoided.
2. Protecting Clothing
Protecting clothing is probably one of the necessary Ebola transmission precautions, particularly for caregivers or medical personnel who are treating infected patients. Gloves, robes, facial masks as well as eye shields are important as the end stages of the disease are targeted at spreading the virus as quick and far as practical through bodily liquids.
3. Hygiene
Regular washing with soap and hot water can minimise the chance of contracting Ebola. Hand rubs containing alcohol are also efficacious in junking the pathogen on the skin.
6. Food
Avoid eating any food that can have come into contact with an infected person. A selection of local African meats, especially bush protein, should not be eaten.
5. Disposal of Remains
The bodily remains of people infected with Ebola are contagious long after death has taken place. Only completely trained teams should handle the disposal of remains of infected Ebola patients. Teams need to wear required protective gear as well as use the right hardware to dispose of remains. While cremation is advocated, clobber is not necessarily available and burial of the remains is obligatory in a precise way and in area that has been set aside for such remains.
There is as yet no vaccine which has been completely developed for the Ebola virus so following Ebola transmission precautions is vital in preventing the spread of the illness.
