The latest American to come down with it was just "splashed with something".

Link? Not out of doubt, I am interested on keeping abreast with information.

Something is off here. I doubt all the people infected are walking around with obvious cuts in an area in which they are specifically there to deal with Ebola.

Oh, it doesn't take that.

But a lot of people have horrible habits, and I am counting Americans in that.


Most probably won't admit to it but how many times do you lick your fingers after eating finger food and just go about your day? Maybe throw in a "cleaning" step of wiping the spit on your pants?

Conversely, how many wash their hands before eating?

In any case, what I just described is accurate, just misleading. The qualifiers of no cuts, ulcers, or gingivitis excludes a high portion of adults, even in the West. The point to illustrate the necessity of blood contact for the virus. Mere exposure is insufficient.
