I'm terrified of this and I honestly don't know much about it. Did it really transfer to Texas? I heard the man who had it passed away from it.

Ebola is a virus that can cause death. So far it's mainly centered in West Africa. It is possible to become infected with Ebola and not show symptoms for 3 weeks. During this time, the person is not contagious. That makes Ebola relatively hard to spread to people, unlike the common flu virus.

Someone flew from West Africa to Texas and was later discovered to have been infected. He was immediately put into isolation, and despite the hospital's best efforts, the man died yesterday.

So far, no one else in America has been found to have been infected.

Ebola is not transferred by air or by touch. You must come into contact with bodily fluids from an infected person. And yes, I do mean spit, snot, piss, blood, etc. So if you know someone who has Ebola, don't french kiss him, and don't drink his blood or piss.

Here's all you really need to know:

Have you, or anyone you know, been to West Africa in the past 3 months? No? Then you don't have to worry about Ebola.

Ebola is being made to be an epidemic by the American media. In a country of 300 million Americans there have only been 3 cases reported. So your chances of contracting Ebola are less then you being struck by lightning.

Yeah, a man from Texas did have it, and he did die from the virus. I wouldn't worry about it spreading to various other parts of America. We're well equipped enough to stop it from infecting many others.

Yes, the person from Africa died from it in Dallas. Around 48 people are being monitored. The deputy that was on the scene is in the hospital isolated. Tests have not been made public if he or anyone else is infected.

Thankfully it is not airborne or mutated to airborne. It is spread from bodily fluids.
