Please stop spreading misinformation about its lack of infectious ability.

The hyperbolic comments practically linking the spread of Ebola to being as intimate as drinking the patient's blood will only lead to disaster.

Ebola's primary spread is surface contact. It is present in sweat. You get an extremely high fever, enough to cause delirium. You're going to sweat.

Ebola can exist in an infectious ability on a dry surface for several days. This would be everything a sweating patient would be in contact with.

Be realistic about its infectious ability. Its not like the flu, but it is also not like AIDS.

Not what I read (has to be moist).
