Its a virus that attacks a person blood system: Ebola is what scientists call a hemorrhagic fever - it operates by making its victims bleed from almost anywhere on their body. Usually victims bleed to death. Ebola is highly contagious; being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, sweat, saliva, semen or other body discharges. Ebola is however NOT AN AIRBORNE VIRUS! EXTREMELY deadly: About 90% of people that catch Ebola will die from it. Its one of the deadliest diseases in the world, killing in just a few weeks. Untreatable(no cure): Ebola has no known treatment or cure. Victims are usually treated for symptoms with the faint hope that they recover. How Do I Know Someone has Ebola? • Fever • Headache • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Weakness • Joint & Muscle pains • Stomach Pain • Lack of Appetite Protect Yourself: • Wash Your Hands with Soap.
