You vomit nonstop, have diarrhea, coughing up blood, bruising, stomach pain, chills, headaches, have a very high fever up to 100.4°. The virus attacks cells in your body. It travels from animals and can spread through your blood or other body fluids to infect you, but it can't be spread through the air. The average fatality rate is about 50%. There's no vaccine for Ebola. Treatment may include antibodies from patients who have recovered, intravenous fluids and helping patients maintain their blood pressure and oxygen intake. West Africa is where you can get the virus though. Unless someone with the virus form Africa or just came back from you can get it. You won't know until they know themselves they have it.

How does Ebola happen?

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola fever, is a severe often fatal illness in humans. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission.The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.The first EVD outbreaks occurred in remote villages in Central Africa, near tropical rainforests, but the most recent outbreak in West Africa has involved major urban as well as rural areas. Community interact is the key to successfully controlling outbreaks. Good outbreak control relies on applying a package of interventions, namely case management, surveillance and contact tracing, a good laboratory service, safe burials and social. Early supportive care, symptomatic treatment improves survival. There is as yet no licensed treatment proven to the virus but a range of blood, and drug therapies are under development. There are currently no licensed Ebola vaccines but 2 potential candidates are undergoing evaluation.
