There was a recent ebola outbreak in Guinea that has resulted in a ban of bat soup. Bats are a common food source in West Africa but they have been banned from consumption due to the outbreak of ebola that has killed 63 people. The bats contain a filovirus that causes ebola. This can be seen as a cultural hazard because it is the result of the West African diet.
