[naviga:h3]Person possibly exposed to Ebola[/naviga:h3]

OMAHA, Neb. — An American who was providing medical assistance in Congo may have been exposed to the deadly Ebola virus and is being monitored at a Nebraska medical center.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha confirmed Saturday that it was housing the person in a secure area that is not accessible to other patients or the public. Spokesman Taylor Wilson says the person arrived Saturday afternoon.

The medical center is not providing any details to honor the person’s request for privacy. The facility also is not identifying the person as a patient or when the person was in Africa.

Officials say the person is not ill and has no Ebola symptoms but will be monitored for up to two weeks.

The medical center has a dedicated biocontainment unit and treated three Ebola patients in 2014.

[naviga:h3]Bed bug app has answers[/naviga:h3]

TOLEDO, Ohio — Just the thought of a bed bug infestation is enough to make you start scratching and tossing out furniture.

A researcher at Ohio State University has come up with a new app that has tips on spotting bed bugs and getting rid of them. It also has information for travelers and how to stop an infestation.

Entomologist Susan Jones said bed bugs can be tricky to identify because they’re nocturnal and really good at hiding. She also said they’re hard to eliminate and recommends hiring a professional.

Jones said she developed the new app because there’s a lot of misinformation out there about bed bugs.

The app works on Android and iOS devices and can be found by searching “bed bug field guide.”
