He explained that the prevalent period of the disease was during the dry season and part of the rainy season when farmers were cultivating lands for farming.

“The farmers during this period will do a lot of bush burning and when they burn the bush, the rats will move from their natural habitat to a place safer and a lot of them tends to come towards homes in that surrounding.

“The first way to prevent Lassa is to stop bush burning, and we have sensitised against this,” he said.

Faduyile advised people not to put their food where rats can have access. (NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
