Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 386: Inexplicable fever?

Even Wang Lu planned to let Parker take people to cut down all the wild sweet sorghum.

Even for those who are not suffering from smut, it is good to use the stem parts as a snack to supplement sugar!

It can also be used to produce sugar, or make wine, etc. In short, you can still get something from it.

Especially since Zhou Rou has been obsessed with making handmade desserts recently, she is very satisfied with the sweet sorghum Wang Lu found, which is an unexpected surprise.

The process of making sugar from sweet sorghum stalks is also very mature and simple. The juice is squeezed out of those stalks to obtain the raw liquid, and then through a series of operations such as boiling and evaporation, the sugar produced from this natural raw material can be obtained.

In fact, to be honest, the sugar produced by this thing tastes no different from ordinary sugar. After all, it just tastes sweet.

But if you combine it with the words natural raw materials and traditional craftsmanship, it will immediately taste like that...

Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder those so-called high-end products on the market have to add some gimmicks to make them look high-end. The psychological effect is really powerful.

Just when Wang Lu was tasting the sorghum glutinous rice made by Zhou Rou using those sweet sorghums, Doctor Hank appeared in front of him again, and the guy's expression was a little ugly, which made Wang Lu lose his temper all of a sudden.

"Hank, it looks like you brought me bad news again. Don't tell me that malaria is spreading again in my ranch!"

To be honest, the prevalence of malaria in the entire African region is basically equivalent to the common cold in China, and Wang Lu is a little indifferent now.

But Dr. Hank shook his head helplessly:

"King! If it's just malaria, then I'm afraid I'll have to pray to God. The key is that I can't find out the cause of your guys' illness at all, and they continue to have fever!"

At this time, Wang Lu's movements had stopped.

"I gave them some conventional antipyretic drugs, and the effect was actually pretty good. But after a while, they would have fever again, which is abnormal. And I've already treated them for malaria and Lassa fever. I’ve been checked twice! The results are very positive, it’s not caused by these two viruses. I don’t have any clues yet...”

All of a sudden, Wang Lu’s head got bigger!

The most irritating thing in the local area is the endless emergence of new viruses. If one does not respond well, big trouble can really happen.

In particular, most of these viruses are contagious. If the source of infection is not confirmed quickly, things will become very troublesome.

At that moment, Wang Lu called Parker and Old Wei over and gave them instructions, asking all the veterans under him to pay attention recently and not to come into contact with things or creatures of unknown origin.

The veterans with fever were also temporarily isolated. This was also the experience gained when Lassa fever was prevalent in the ranch last time. Effective treatment can only be carried out after the source of infection is identified.

Even Zhou Rou and Wang Lu temporarily let her stay in the villa.

He himself went with Parker and the others to take a look at the veterans who were still feverish.

The good news at the moment is that several veterans only have fever, plus some diarrhea at most, and they are in good spirits. There are no individuals who are in a critical situation like the last time they were infected with Lassa fever. They look like a group of people. Just like a normal fever.

Dr. Hank was still using his knowledge to investigate the source of the illnesses of several veterans. Wang Lu asked him to collect blood samples from several veterans and rush them to a major hospital in Arusha for testing.Blood tests can also perform targeted checks for some viruses that are prevalent in the local area.

The results of the blood test came out the next day. Just like Dr. Hank's judgment, the veterans' blood did not detect the presence of viruses such as malaria, Lassa fever, and even cholera, Rift Valley fever, etc. excluded.

The results that can be obtained are only an increase in the number of red blood cells and eosinophils, and nothing can be determined by this alone.

Dr. Hank didn't have any clue, but new symptoms appeared on the veterans' side. Several veterans spontaneously developed wheals similar to urticaria.

This made Wang Lu even more confused. What was going on!
Moreover, the number of people with fever also increased again, reaching as many as six.

This shows that no matter what virus you are infected with, it is absolutely contagious!

For a moment, Wang Lu was one and two big, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

After experiencing the spread of Lassa fever before, Wang Lu paid special attention to the hygiene and epidemic prevention of the ranch.

Basically, they will be disinfected every once in a while. The veterans on the ranch are all from China. In terms of personal hygiene, the conditions are much better than those of the local black people. In addition, they are all veterans. , Discipline is maintained very well, and under Wang Lu's special emphasis, there will basically be no major surprises.

Even if someone got malaria, it was because they went to the town of Baria to do shopping or went out for other tasks and were infected by the locals.

And even for the local black people led by Amanda, Wang Lu also requires them to maintain basic personal hygiene. Once they have the most basic situation such as fever, they must report it. Wang Lu does not allow them to enter the ranch to work while sick. There haven't been any big problems.

Just when the entire ranch was feeling quite panicked, even worse news was delivered to Wang Lu.

Burns, the professional manager, said to the boss Wang Lu with a worried face:

"Boss, we have discovered that a certain number of calves in the newly purchased batch of calves are malnourished and have slow growth. The number is not very large yet, but the situation does exist..."

Malnutrition?

Wang Lu was very familiar with the water and grass conditions in his pasture. This situation had never happened to the batch of cattle and sheep he purchased before. He could only say that something happened that he didn't know about.

Considering the current situation at the ranch, a very bad guess appeared in Wang Lu's mind.

“A zoonotic disease is circulating in the pastures!”

Wang Lu broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this!

If this is not controlled, the entire ranch will suffer, and his large-scale breeding plan will be aborted. The losses will be overwhelming, and it will become a joke by then.

Just when Wang Lu was getting angry, things took a turn for the better, and the situation didn't seem to be as bad as he thought...
