HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yippeee!!! It's another year. Year 2014! My  superstitious mind labels this year the year of luck and fortune. 14 is a lucky number. My religious mind is still looking for a label for this year... Okay, leave my minds. Why am I here?

Chikungunya: Another Mosquito situation

Tweets from the official account of the World Health Organization (WHO) have been flooding my Twitter timeline. A particular topic caught my interest. Tweets about a disease called 'Chikungunya' were difficult to ignore. Maybe it's the name, quite funny, chikungunya , couldn't help laughing. Sounds like something from Naruto. When I saw a tweet that said it was transmitted by mosquito bites,  I got even more interested. Mosquito is a vector we Africans, Nigerians know very well, in fact,  Chief Amos Quito na our padi. Who never get malaria before? Walk into any hospital and half the patients are being treated for malaria, another mosquito transmitted pathology.

So curiosity got the better of me, and I did a little research on this disease. With reliable information (avoid hoaxes, trust only reliable sources) sourced from the WHO  and the CDC USA, I was able to come up with an article on this interesting disease.
