Ebola is a deadly disease caused by the Ebola virus. Scientists believe that Ebola virus spreads from animals to humans through direct contact with an infected bat or monkey, known as a spillover event. The virus spreads easily from person-to-person and outbreaks happen quickly when friends, family, and healthcare providers caring for Ebola patients come in contact with contaminated body fluids like blood, poo, and saliva, YAK !!. It’s not an air-borne virus, but it can spread through large contaminated droplets or splashing.
