Actually, Ebola is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact.[/quote]That is only partially right.

[quote=World Health Organization]
People can be exposed to Ebola virus from direct physical contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, stool, urine, sweat etc. of an infected person and soiled linen used by a patient.[/quote]

Ebola can last for hours outside of the body and if it is cold it can last months.

Ebola is very contagious. One person can infect an everyone immediately in front of him by sneezing and not covering his mouth.
