​Ebola

---

Ebola is a viral disease that causes internal and external bleeding of the body. Once you contract the Ebola virus, it attacks your immune system, weakening it to the extent that your body fails to fight against it. Consequently it starts to kills cells inside your body. Ultimately the level of blood-clotting cells drops which leads to severe and uncontrollable bleeding. It also contributes to damage of the body organs. If not attended to timely, the disease may result in death.

Ebola is not as contagious as other viruses. It is usually spreads by contact with the skin or body fluids of an infected animal. From there it moves from person to person. People, who take care of the infected patients or bury them, are most prone to catching this disease.​​
