You have to kind of wonder WTF is going on in Texas. Today the second Dallas Nurse has tested positive for Ebola. Did you know that Ebola has been around since 1976, according to CNN. According to the Wiki page on Ebola in West Africa, less than 5000 people have been confirmed to have died of Ebola. It’s been around for over 30 years. It is not airborne. The CDC says that it has to enter your body through a wound, cut or mucous membrane. So what do you need to stay Ebola Free:
• Latex gloves
• Ear loop mask to protect mucous membranes in your nose.
• Goggles to protect the mucous membranes around your eyes
• Disposable gown
• And disposable booties for your shoes.
Since we are talking about healthcare workers, good hand-washing techniques should also be a no-brainer.
