The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has declared
that Nano-Silver, the drug the Ministry of Heath in
Nigeria is planning to use for Ebola infected patients in
the country is a pesticide.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a chief U.S.
regulatory body, has made known its worries known over
the safety of nano-silver, the name given to the
experimental drug Nigeria’s ministry of health announced
it would be using to treat eight Ebola patients in Lagos.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has however
classified nano-silver as a known anti-bacterial used to
fight mold and other bacteria, hence, calling it a pesticide.
According to Sahara Reporters, a spokeswoman for the
U.S. FDA, Erica Jefferson, claimed they could not find or
verify any information on the treatment, though they did
not explicitly call it by name.
Although the Nigerian government claims the treatment
was given by a Nigerian scientist in the diaspora, but did
not give the doctor’s name, the US FDA has however
revealed that the makers of the drugs are not recognized
which means the drug has not been tested.
It would be recalled that just yesterday, the colleagues and
relatives of the Lagos Ebola infected persons lamented
that the Federal Government is not taking adequate care of
the patients as it is being proclaimed in the media.
