Supposedly, the &#8216;important message&#8217; was issued by Manila Police and aired on TV news. It asks that you urgently forward the information to people that you care about so that they will be forewarned of the danger. The message features an image depicting a diseased human hand.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claims in the would-be warning are utter nonsense. There are no credible news reports that support the claims in the message. Nor is the supposed contamination mentioned on the Manilla Police District website or any other offical police or health authority outlet. Moreover, there is no evidence that Ebola \u00a0can be \u00a0spread by eating or drinking commercial food or beverages. In a Q&amp;A about Ebola, the <a title=\"Questions and Answers about Ebola and Food Safety in the United States\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vhf\/ebola\/transmission\/qas-food-safety.html\">CDC notes that<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Ebola virus is not spread by consuming food, with the possible exception of bushmeat.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>There is no evidence that foods produced commercially have ever transmitted Ebola virus anywhere in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, the message is just a revamped version of earlier hoaxes that falsely claimed that a worker had deliberately contaminated other commercial beverages \u00a0with HIV or Ebola infected blood:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>URGENT !!!!Please,don&#8217;t buy or drink any bottled water called &#8220;DEW&#8221;. Customs says it was shipped into Nigeria from Tanzania where it has killed 180 people and now finding its way into south africa. It is said to contain ebola. Please pass this on and save millions. If u don&#8217;t believe check google for &#8220;DEW bottled water. (SFTBC)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>There&#8217;s news from the police. Its an urgent message for all. For next few days don&#8217;t drink any product from pepsi company&#8217;s like pepsi, slice, 7up etc. A worker from the company has added his blood contaminated with AIDS.. Watch MDTV dstv channel 413. please forward this to everyone on your list.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And, an <a title=\"IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM HYDERABAD POLICE - MAAZA CONTAMINATED WITH EBOLA: FACTS\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoaxorfact.com\/Health\/important-message-from-hyderabad-police-maaza-contaminated-with-ebola-facts.html\">almost identical version of the hoax<\/a> claimed that it was the fruit drink product Maaza that \u00a0had been contaminated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Important msg from Hyderabad police to all over India:<br \/>\nFor the next few weeks do not drink any product of Maaza, as a worker from the company has added his blood contaminated with Ebola. It was shown yesterday on NDTV&#8230; Pls forward this msg urgently to people you care&#8230; Take Care!!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The rather vague reference to &#8216;Cool Drink&#8217; in the message may be referring to all types of soft drink rather than just one product. The slang term &#8216;cooldrink&#8217; is \u00a0a \u00a0South African English word for soft drink.<\/p>\n<p>Sending on these false contamination warnings will \u00a0serve only to spread fear and alarm and will certainly not help keep anybody safe from Ebola, HIV, or any other health threat. If you receive one of these false warnings, do not share it on your networks.
