What's Ebola?

It's Bloody

Ebola is what scientists call a haemorraghic fever - it operates by making its victims bleed from almost anywhere on their body. Usually, victims bleed to death from Ebola.

It's Contagious

Ebola is highly contagious; being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, saliva, semen or body discharges.

Really Deadly

About 60-90% of people that catch Ebola will die from it. It's one of the deadliest diseases in the world, killing in a few weeks.


This is the sad part - Ebola has no known cure. But victims can be treated for symptoms and have been known to recover with intensive care.
