How do you get Ebola?

The good thing about Ebola is that it's not as contagious as a common cold. It spreads by contact, meaning its not an airborne virus. And yes monkeys, mosquitoes can carry the virus and pass it along to humans. So in that respect it can go airborne.

This is just a quick reference to the symptoms of Ebola, in no way am I a Dr. or trying to be one. If you think you have the virus please see a Dr. immediately.
