Nipah Virus: Should We Be Worried?

Okay, here’s the scoop: there’s a virus called Nipah that’s been popping up in places like Bangladesh and India, and it’s got a scary-high fatality rate (up to 75%!). It started with pig farmers, but bats and other animals can carry it too. Bats again! Symptoms? Think fever, headache, muscle pain, and sometimes even worse stuff like encephalitis. The good news: there are no cases in the U.S. right now, and experts aren’t freaking out. But still, wild how these things can fly under the radar! #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus
