20 Ways to Fight Ebola

From Contagion-Preventing Airplanes to At-Home Health Labs

— August 6, 2014 — Tech
Although it is highly unlikely that people in North America will have to find ways to fight Ebola, those who are looking for preventative measures for peace of mind will find this list useful. Two American aid workers who were diagnosed with the disease in West Africa are back on United States soil, so it is only natural that some people would start to panic.

Yet there are ways to fight Ebola in both reasonable and extreme ways. First and foremost is arming oneself with as much knowledge about the virus as possible so as to not let ignorance cloud judgement. There are tons of apps and social networks that are addressing the Ebola scare in particular and medical conditions in general. Then there are more elaborate measures including at-home lab kits, anti-nausea wristbands and more.
