Ebola has riveted-and terrified-the world since its reemergence from the jungle, killing more than eleven thousand people in West Africa since December 2013. Transmitted through bodily fluids, blood, saliva, sweat, vomit, feces, and semen-the disease causes high fever, widespread pain, nausea and vomiting, and severe diarrhea. Patients may develop dangerous bleeding and organ failure. With no effective treatment available, about 40 percent of infected people die within days. Using proper protective gear, safe burial protocols, cleansing techniques, and educational outreach, the disease has been slowed in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone-at least temporarily.
What's Ebola? Do we need to be afraid? This short book will take readers beyond the headlines to help them understand the disease. Chapters will cover what Ebola is (where it came from, symptoms, how it spreads), the 2014 outbreak, notable outbreaks of other diseases (1918 flu pandemic, SARS, bird flu), and give information on staying safe and healthy from all kinds of infectious diseases--not just Ebola. This book is meant to inform young readers while also alleviating fears they may have. The information on other disease outbreaks will help readers put the 2014 Ebola outbreak into a larger context. The information on good health habits will also help make the book useful and relevant even after concerns about the current outbreak have abated.
