Lassa Fever is a viral illness caused by the Lassa virus, primarily found in West Africa. It is transmitted to humans through contact with food or household items contaminated with the urine or droppings of infected multimammate rats. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include fever, weakness, and headaches. In some cases, Lassa Fever can lead to serious complications, such as bleeding and organ failure. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Preventive measures include proper food storage and maintaining good hygiene to reduce contact with rodents.
