Ebola virus

Ebola, a new type of killer virus, continues to create havoc in several West African countries and death toll has exceeded 4,000 by now. Since this virus is unknown to medial professionals, proper medicines are to be developed through research.

We are continuing to consume fruits, vegetables, fish and many other items contaminated with formalin. After-effects of formalin to human bodies are deadly as these may create incurable diseases like cancer and kidney dysfunctions. We eat unhygienic food prepared in unhealthy atmosphere and dirty places.

Even fake medicines including antibiotics are produced in places like kitchens, cowsheds, and godowns. In the event of outbreak of the new virus Ebola, it looks we are less concerned about such a probable disaster.

We hope, the government will take appropriate measures in advance to contain Ebola.
