Ebola in Congo: Experts warn of wild animal consumption
For many people in Congo and other parts of West Africa, wild meat is both a delicacy and an important part of their cultural background. Even the threat of Ebola—a deadly disease currently affecting a remote region of eastern Congo—has done little to reduce demand for wild meat from the Congo Basin, an expansive forested ecosystem often referred to as the "Earth's second lung." While Ebola is not generally transmitted through food, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says outbreaks in Africa have been linked to the hunting, butchering, and processing of meat from infected animals. Dr. William Schaffner from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center joins LiveNOW's Alexandra Goldberg to discuss.
