Ebola a rare but deadly virus

Описание: Ebola is a rare virus but also one of the deadliest. It often contracted from bush meat or contact with monkeys or bats. It is spread through contact with blood and body fluids of infected or deceased persons. The virus has an incubation period of up to 21 days, and thereafter symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat will start to show. These can be followed by vomiting, diarrhea, internal and external bleeding. The Ebola virus can also be found in sweat, tears, mucus, saliva, vomit, diarrhea, urine, breastmilk, sexual fluids and blood. The best prevention is hand-washing and avoiding direct contact with infected persons.
