Nigeria has warned those who eat potatoes because of a disease that has been found
The outbreak of anthrax disease that has been identified among some animals in neighboring nations has prompted the government of Nigeria to issue a warning to the inhabitants of that country to immediately cease eating cow skin.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Nigeria has advised the people of the country, particularly those who eat bushmeat, grilled fish, and wild meat known as "bush meat," that they should avoid eating these foods because of the threat that they have of spreading the disease, until such time as it will be controlled. This is due to the outbreak of the disease in some countries in the West African region.
According to Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, the secretary general of the ministry, the spread of the disease originated in the north of Ghana, which borders Burkina Faso and Togo, which put the West African region in danger.
According to the announcement, the hedgehog illness, also known as anthrax, is responsible for the deaths of people at this time. This is due to the fact that it may infect both animals and humans, and scientists have stated that it does not discriminate between domestic and wild animals.
The specialists also disclosed the symptoms of the illness, which include coughing, fever, and pain in the nerves. These symptoms, if left untreated for an extended period of time, can result in pneumonia, lung disease, and difficulty breathing, all of which can lead to death.
Because the sickness can be directly transmitted through breathing, the government has also cautioned the general public to avoid coming into close proximity to animals that have not been vaccinated against the disease.
