The interval between the onset of symptoms and death has been 48 hours in the majority of cases, and “that’s what’s really worrying,” Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center, told The Associated Press.
The latest disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo began on Jan. 21, and 419 cases have been recorded including 53 deaths.
According to the WHO’s Africa office, the first outbreak in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms.
Chicken is safe as long as you cook it properly
Beef is safe as long as you cook it properly
And guess what…
Bat is safe as long as you cook it properly
People get sick and die from under cooking beef and chicken all the time, will you stop eating it because of that?
I would bet these kids were just as likely, if not more so, to have been infected by handling the bat as having eaten cooked bat.
Are you an idiot? If cows had a high risk of novel zoonotic pandemic diseases coming out of them after a worldwide pandemic then of course I wouldn’t eat them you fucking imbecile, and stop implying that these people are too retarded to understand this just because of their skin colour.
Funny you would say that.
Heard of bird flu?
The only person implying anything negative about people eating bat here is you. Maybe you should go back and reread this whole conversation, it might make your realize how bad you look.
