Ebola transmission precautions are strigent mesaures established for protection agianst the dangerous pathogen known as ebola.
The Ebola virus is broadcast thru contact with an infected person through skin, bodily liquids, tissues and/or blood. The virus is not airborne which increases the effectiveness of basic Ebola transmission precautions to prevent the growth of the illness.
5 Ebola Transmission Precautions
1. Avoidance
Avoid travel to any areas where the Ebola pathogen has been detected, particularly in Africa where pandemics are becoming far-reaching. Any contact with patients, or the remains of patients, who've contracted the illness should also be avoided.
2. Protective Clothing
Protecting clothing is probably one of the essential Ebola transmission precautions, especially for caregivers or medical personnel who are treating infected patients. Gloves, robes, facial masks as well as eye shields are critical as the end stages of the illness are aimed at spreading the virus as quick and far as possible through bodily liquids.
3. Cleanliness
Regular washing with soap and hot water can reduce the danger of contracting Ebola. Hand rubs containing alcohol are also effective in eliminating the pathogen on the skin.
6. Food
Avoid eating any food which will have make contact with an infected person. A selection of local African meat, especially bush meat, should not be eaten.
5. Disposal of Remains
The bodily remains of people infected by Ebola are transmissive long after death has occurred. Only absolutely trained teams should handle the disposal of remains of infected Ebola patients. Groups need to wear mandatory protective gear as well as use the proper hardware to lose remains. While cremation is recommended, equipment is not necessarily available and burial of the remains is necessary in a controlled way and in area that has been set aside for such remains.
There is as of yet no vaccine which has been completely developed for the Ebola pathogen so following Ebola transmission precautions is vital in preventing the growth of the disease.
