[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]While the virus's one virtue is that it isn't as easily transmitted as flu, it is highly contagious.

The disease spreads through contact with blood, body fluids or contact with tissue from infected people or animals. It has only a 10 per cent survival rate.
People can become contaminated from vomiting and diarrhoea, saliva from a kiss, sweat from a mopped brow, or even, [b]experts believe, a sneeze[/b].
A sufferer will endure a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, a headache and sore throat.
Then comes vomiting, diarrhoea, a rash and the kidneys and liver shutting down.
As the final stages of the disease take hold, a patient sufferers unpleasant internal and external bleeding.
As the virus punches holes in veins, the result is massive internal haemorrhaging and bleeding from the eyes, ears, mouth and other orifices.
A victim generally dies as a result of multiple organ failure.
Doctors have been warned to look for patients who have sudden onset of symptoms including fever, headache, sore throat and generally feeling unwell within 21 days of visiting affected areas.[/quote]
