Prevention Tips
Avoid contact with other people’s blood and body fluids. Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (like clothes, bedding, or needles). Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola. Avoid contact with bats, monkeys, and apes, or the raw meat from these animals. Avoid facilities where Ebola patients are being treated. Practice careful hygiene. Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Visit CDC Travelers’ Health for travel advice and country-specific travel information. If you have traveled to an area with an Ebola outbreak, seek medical care immediately if you develop fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding. More at CDC.gov
