Avoid contact with wild animals and the meat of wild animals
Getting bitten by a wild animal that carries Ebola can lead to infection. Wild animals that can carry this are chimpanzees, monkeys, fruit bats, porcupines, gorillas, pigs and forest antelope. In addition, the meat of these wild animals can still carry the disease and is only edible after being cooked at a high temperature to remove this. However, the handling of this meat can still lead to a person becoming infected. 4

If this is not available, washing your hands with something that has at least 60% alcohol in it will kill the germs. 5
