Problem is properly putting gear on and taking off
Especially taking off - have to carefully disrobe and not
touch anything
In my FD had class showing us how to dress/undress in hazmat suits
In FD when disrobing stand in plastic wading pool and have
2 men with brushes and a line wash off suit before start taking off
And what about insects—bed mites, mosquitoes, house flies, roaches, etc?
Really what about bed mites—aren't they supposed to in everyone’s mattress?
Mosquitoes may be able to transmit ebola not necessarily like they transmit malaria—via their bites—but from getting an ebola victim's sweat on its feet and then placing the ebola virus on a healthy person's skin when it flies to a healthy person.
And even though the person's skin might protect it from the germs shed by the mosquito's feet, that person might get the germs on his fingers when touching the bitten area or when swatting at the mosquito, and from his fingers rub his eyes.
Might also by scratching the bite mark moving the germs into the bite.
All kinds of ways wearing protective clothing or maintaining a distance may not be 100% safe.
