Not to mention poor sanitation and infected drinking sources. The guy that came over here got it because he helped to carry his infected sister or cousin...I forget which offhand) who ended up dying. It is transmitted through the sweat, so when you pick a body up (and touch their skin or come in contact with cloth that is soaked with their seat, blood, puke, etc...), of someone that has died or is infection, you get infected. It's can also be transmitted sexually up to 6 weeks after recovery....they are trying to get males to make sure they wear condoms in the nations where the epidemic has been declared over to try and prevent a resurgence of it.

I've been listening to the doctors that have been working on the ground in African countries. The reason it's more infectious "over there" is for two reasons - one cultural because of the funeral rites of many tribes that include washing, dressing and even kissing the body of the deceased. The other is capacity which has been documented. ( http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/08/13/kissing-the-corpses-in-ebol a-country.html ) In the US the second of those issues is not an issue. The first might be a challenge but even then facilities are available. In short, I'm not buying the fear or the hype. Until Later! C.
