Scientifically Proven Fact About EBOLA Virus by FemiTheCritic(m): 9:28pm On Aug 13, 2014
Scientifically proven fact about EBOLA virus.

If the ebola virus contacts a person's skin, this does not mean the person is then automatically infected by the virus. The virus is not active until it gains access into a person's mucous membrane. Mucous membranes are those pink fleshy places in the openings of the body like the eyes, nose, inner ears, mouth, anus, opening of the penis and vagina or any wound on any part of the body. So if the virus is on the skin of the hand, it is easy for the virus to enter the mucous membrane because people touch these parts of the body with their fingers. The hands are very important. This is why we encourage everybody to wash their hands often and rub sanitizers. This limits the possibility of being infected. Spread the knowledge, not the fear. Facts will save you, not fear. Together we can win the battle against ebola.

if you get ebola on your skin, sorry you are done for.

because once you touch that spot, then touch your phone, door handles, tap handle, than wash your hand, then pick up your phone again or open the door again
then scratch your face, pick your nose after

isnt that mucous membrane?
thats why that nurse picked it up.

congrats again, ebola can survive on dry surface for 4 days.
