HISTORY OF EBOLA

Ebola kills 90% of its victims

The Ebola virus is named after the Ebola River, where the first outbreaks occurred in 1976.

EBOLA is a killer disease that is transmitted through body secretions such as sweat, blood, saliva, mucous,
breast secretion, tears, urine, and sexual transmission with an infected person.

Ebola put its victims in unbearable pains. For now, there is no cure and the
cause is unknown. It can reproduce in 8 hours and when it does, millions of
new viruses come out. It is the world's most deadly virus and one of the most painful deaths possible.

Once infected, the person can die any where from 3-30 days or even longer.

It is only stopped when it has no more hosts to feed on. The period between infection with the Ebola virus and the start of symptoms is called the Ebola incubation period,
which can be as short as 2 days or as long as 21 days.

SYMPTOMS:

Fever, sore throat, headaches, weakness, joint and muscle pain, chest pain & bleeding from skin. In
pregnant women, abortion
(miscarriage) and heavy vaginal bleeding are common Ebola symptoms. Death usually occurs during the second week of Ebola
symptoms, and its usually due to massive blood loss.
