[quote=Anonymous]Ebola is known to liquify internal organs. It is one of several virus know as "hemmoragic fevers" - the key concept being "Hemorage." Hemmorage = bleeding. Ebola typically causes blood to leak from many sites in veins/arteries all over the body. Bleeding from the eyes, ears and mouth is common, as is massive internal bleeding. IF the body can produce enough antibodies fast enough, the virus can be overcome systemically. If the medical care can replace enough of the leaked blood with a transfusion or fluids fast enough, there is a chance of survival. Under primative conditions, as in Africa, the current strain has a 60 to 70% mortality rate. Caught early and treated with modern hospital care, the mortality among healthy adults is probably somewhat lower. [/quote]
