🚨 #WellnessWednesday: Protect Yourself from Lassa Fever! 🚨

Lassa fever is still a public health threat in Nigeria, with 413 confirmed cases and 80 deaths reported so far in 2025. 🦠

Here’s how you can reduce your risk and stay safe:

Store food properly – Keep food and grains in sealed containers to prevent rat contamination.
Keep your home clean – Eliminate rodent hiding places by keeping your environment tidy.
Practice good hand hygiene – Wash your hands regularly with soap and running water.
Avoid bush burning – It drives rats into homes, increasing the risk of infection.
Seek medical help early – If you experience fever, weakness, or bleeding, visit a health facility immediately.

Lassa fever is preventable! Stay informed and take action to protect yourself and your loved ones.
