Ebola Signs and Symptoms
Fever
Headache
Body aches
Cough
Stomach pain
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Bleeding thru body openings, such as eyes, nose, ears, gums, anus, and private parts
Vomiting blood
How is Ebola Spread?
Ebola is spread thru direct, physical contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, feces, vomit, urine, semen, and sweat of an infected individual.
The virus can also be spread by contact with a person who has died of Ebola.
Although Ebola has flu-like symptoms, it is (supposedly) not spread thru the air.
Ebola Virus Prevention Tips
Avoid areas of known outbreaks
Wash your hands frequently
Don't handle remains of Ebola victims
Avoid bush meat
Follow infection-control procedures
Ebola Virus and the Zombie Apocalypse
News reports have been circulating that some Ebola victims have been seen resurrecting after supposedly being killed by the Ebola virus. Are these reports true?
In a life imitating art story, the novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War depicts North Korea acting decisively by sealing its borders and hustling its people into mysterious bunkers. On October 23, North Korea notified foreign tour operations that visitors are now banned. The reason given... Ebola.
