assistant
The ebola virus is a deadly disease that causes severe hemorrhagic fever. It is spread through direct contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected person, and can be fatal in up to 90% of cases. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, fatigue, and bleeding from body openings such as gums, nose, eyes, and ears. Treatment for ebola includes supportive care, such as rehydration and treating any secondary infections. There is no specific treatment for ebola, but experimental treatments are being developed.
