As others have stated, bleach is the best. This product is a good one to have on hand, IMO:

"Barbicide is a United States Environmental Protection Agency-approved hospital disinfectant. It is a germicide, pseudomonacide, fungicide, and a viricide, which is effective against the HIV-1 virus (AIDS virus), Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C."

would the sugar free version of Gatoraid / poweraide be better or worse?

Don't know about you, but if I was drinking it, the artificial sweeteners would have an effect indistinguishable from the ebola!

An N95 filtering face piece with respirator will provide better protection than a simple mask, but it is dependent on proper fit.

A PAPR helmet or hood would work, and is not dependent on fit to face.

I have seen conflicting opinions regarding whether N95 masks are sufficient, so if one can afford it, going a step further might be the way to go.

Still researching other stuff.

Lots of suppositories - anti nausea and anti diareal?

Reality is that if you get symptoms, and you have had some exposure they you are between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

Stay and your family likely exposed if they haven’t already. Go to the hospital and get exposed when you may not have it, if you can even get in, which I think you assumed not.

Self quarantine in an RV or trailer if you have one, so that the house and your family is not exposed. Pray and await your fate. Your chances aren’t good.

No either it kills the host or the host kills it.

A mask might help but you must cover all skin to be safe. Any exposed skin is a possible infection site.

I think in terms of artificial sweeteners, that stevia is the best in terms of not having bad side effects...
