http://theliberiandialogue.org/2014/08/02/ebola-crisis-prevention-awareness-education-is-the-only-cure/ Means of Transmission Ebola-Zaire is also the most contagious, infectious disease in the Ebola family. It can be transmitted from person-to-person directly and indirectly. The first direct means involves eating monkeys, fruit bats, chimpanzees, and other animals that host Ebola virus. The second direct means of transmission is through blood and bodily fluids of the symptom bearer. The term “bodily fluids” means sweat, saliva, and semen transmitted to a healthy person through sexual contacts, kissing, and hugging by an Ebola symptom bearer. Other direct means of fluid contacts include sharing of household items such as spoons, plates, water cups, clothing, underclothes, toilet seats, bathing towels, and even bed-sharing with a symptom bearer. Mosquito and insect bites as well as flies, mice, and cockroaches coming in contact with an Ebola symptom bearer, and also coming in contact with a healthy person have also shown to be a direct means of fluid contacts. The indirect fluid contact involves sneezing or coughing in the face of a healthy person by a symptom bearer. Contaminated equipment at health centers treating Ebola victims can also transmit virus to a healthy person. |

I moved it for you. It is easy to do (I can do it!). First click on "post options" then "move post" pick a forum then a topic or select a new topic and click "move post".
After you click "post options" it talks you through it. |

How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving. |

I had wondered on another post if a house fly could transmit so I did some searching. I felt that this article helped point out how easy transmission could occur. A simple trip to the restroom or a common house fly wow how scary is that.
