A doctor who survived Ebola in Nigeria has credited plenty of water and her own determination.
The Financial Times reported the story on 14 October, saying: “Her experience is consistent with other survivors of the disease in Nigeria, all of whom engaged in an endurance test of rehydration as soon as they were diagnosed, drinking up to five litres of a solution of water combined with rehydration salts each day.”
Another doctor, who has examined multiple Ebola patients, backed up the case for rehydration: “With Ebola, things multiply – they don’t add up.”
If you miss a day of water, you have to make up for it the next day with twice as much.
