An ‘eye-bleeding sickness’ has prompted doctors worldwide to issue a warning after nine suspected instances, including eight fatalities, were recently recorded.
World Health Organization (WHO) global health leaders have issued a warning about Marburg virus outbreaks in Tanzania, Africa. The Tanzanian government has refuted reports of a possible Marburg epidemic, however.
Although it is difficult to spread, the potentially fatal hemorrhagic fever is spread via human fluids, contaminated items, or infected animals.
Despite the terrible and sudden symptoms, which include internal bleeding or bleeding from the lips, eyes, or ears, the illness is still generally incurable because to the lack of immunizations.
Additional symptoms include a ‘ghost-like’ look with deep-set eyes, fever, muscular soreness, rashes, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, vomiting, and headaches that become worse with time.
