Dallas (CNN)Kisha Bell walks into the Neighborhood Medical Center in Dallas complaining of abdominal pain. But she has a much more pressing concern weighing on her mind. "Ebola -- can you tell me, I guess, as far as like the symptoms?" she asks the doctor. Ebola isn't spreading across the United States, but anxiety about the virus certainly is. The epicenter is Dallas, where the country's first diagnosis and the first transmissions of Ebola were made. Before this month, Dr. Martin McElya said he's never been asked about Ebola. Now he's fielding a wave of questions. "I say, 'You're not going to get it from someone who sneezes across the room, or because you're sharing an airspace," McElya said. "It's going to require more of an intimate contact, and people seem relieved by that fact."
