exposure to the body fluids of an ebola patient is the cause. ebola is highly-contagious but it is not spread by foods. fomites (fresh fluids on surfaces linens tissues etc. contaminated by an ebola patient) can certainly lead to transmission. the jury is still out if the virus is airborne but clearly if an ebola patient coughs those body fluids (saliva mucous) could contain the virus.
what object or food will give a person ebola? . i hear about different cases of ebola so what i want to know is ebola something that is airborne in food or in body fluids? how are these people getting ebola?
