The lady should check other places she visited prior to coming to Ghana. It can be months before her arrival in Ada. Citing Lake Bosomtwe MAY be more credible than the Volta Estuary. If she has blood in her stool, kooko. In her urine, better she goes for a smear test to check gono, hpv, etc and leave Ghanaians alone.

The disease is in Ada. When the Prince of Wales visited in the 1970s it was a very big issue. The real issue is that the writer is stupid. One of these pompous lady bloggers who needs a good Ghanaian fuck for fie nyansa.

The symptoms in the story come no where near any bilharzia symptoms I knew even at the primary school. I just googled the word bilharzia n believe me this story is fake. Ignore it

why do you say its fake news, I also googled bilharzia and got quite an informative piece from UK n.h.s. e.g. comes from freshwater, can stay in body for years etc. in the article lab results confirmed the results only when they knew what they were looking for. no wonder its called the neglected disease.
this article is helpful not only to customers and businesses of river resorts but to all populace who come into contact with freshwater

There is nothing the hotel can do even if the story were true. The hotel does not own the river and cannot control anything in it.
If indeed there was Bilhazia for all these year causing depletion of iron, there should have been the passing of blood in the urine. Nothing of such was mentioned in this story. A simple urine test costing 10 or 15 cedis would have confirmed this diagnosis.

Total fabricated story to try n get money from a hotel foolishness.
I grew up in Ada n we had bilhaziar so many times when we were kids n all we took was this medication which turns ur urine yellow and after some time it goes away so where's all these symptoms from ?we could've been all dead as kids if we experience all these "hunhunscious" symptoms.
And now there's no bilharziar in the river at Ada any more since the river is constantly dredged.

Ha!!! So it's true that there's bilharzia or whatever they call it in the water at Ada.
People should be aware of the risks. Period. How does dredging a river once in donkey years eliminate these parasites? It will only be a temporary fix! They are worms carried by freshwater snails. You only have to come into contact with these worms in the water to get infected. I would have thought the water at Ada was more salty than normal fresh water but Konkonte confessed that they had the disease many times as kids. It's real peeps; be be warned!

This is a fake news. Do you know the number of people that go for water sports in Ada? Go and look for the cause of your sickness and stop those lies.

Salt water does not contain bilharzia, however, the water around Ada certainly does contain Bilharzia. The snails release the parasite into the water near the shore where the parasite looks for its next unsuspecting host to then enter. I am aware of many people who tested positive after going into the water--even just to step on the jet ski. This is certainly not fake news!
