Those who love equestrian sports must train for a long time to get their horses used to us. They also have to take special care of and pay close attention to this large animal because it’s definitely not as tame as your cat or dog at home. Sometimes we forget to protect ourselves from various germs around us, including Hendra virus, a dangerous condition that causes death. Today, Hello เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย would like to bring knowledge and methods of preventing viruses to young cowboys so that they can be more careful.
Let’s learn more about Hendra virus.
Hendra virus (HeV) was first discovered after an outbreak at a stable in 1994. Although it is a rare disease, seven people have been infected, four of whom died. It is caused by contact with horse saliva , nasal mucus or other bodily fluids .
But the real source of the Hendra virus comes from something in the saliva of bats that might have come to drink water in horse stables, causing the virus to spread greatly. Because most horse breeding is done in fields, gardens or dense forests, bats that come out to forage at night fly into the vicinity looking for food and spreading the virus.
Early symptoms that indicate you have been infected with Hendra virus
After the Hendra virus enters the body, it takes about 9-16 days for the virus to incubate and spread throughout the body, destroying your health .
Common initial symptoms include: fever, cough , sore throat , headache , and general flu -like fatigue.
Complications that you should see a doctor for: Increased body temperature, rapid and rapid heart rate, respiratory problems , fatigue , seizures.
If you are careless and do not know how to prevent it, it may result in fever, encephalitis , and lung infection , leading to coma or even death.
Protect your health from Hendra virus
- Wear protective equipment such as gloves, shoes , and clothing , including a mask covering the nose and mouth, before getting close to or touching the horse’s body.
- Clean your hands with soap and water before and after you come into contact with the horse.

There is no specific vaccine or treatment for this virus. Doctors may prescribe antibody therapy to build up the body’s immunity to prevent further infection.
