assistant
The ebola virus is a deadly disease that causes severe illness and can be fatal. It is spread through direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person, such as vomit, diarrhea, or saliva. Symptoms of ebola include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, vomiting, and diarrhea. If left untreated, it can cause internal bleeding, organ failure, and death. There is no vaccine to prevent ebola, but there are treatments for those who have been infected.
