The recent outbreak of the Ebola virus in Africa has led to a lot of misconceptions and panic. While it is true that there have been reported cases in several parts of the United States, the government through CDC and universities with masters in public health departments are working towards preparing to prevent a similar outbreak.According to recent studies compiled by the University of Southern California, there are a few notable symptoms you can actually look out for in the event of an Ebola virus infection. Symptoms such as high fever, headaches, and muscle fatigue are usually apparent during the early stages of infection. When you see these symptoms occurring, seek medical attention immediately.
Fortunately, the Ebola virus is very easy to identify. While there are still no licensed vaccines on the market, the virus infection can be treated to prevent fatality.
