Content: No. Ebola virus doesn’t drift through the air like germs that cause measles or tuberculosis. That’s how doctors and nurses are able to safely treat people with the virus. To become infected with Ebola, you would need to get some of the ill person’s bodily fluids — blood, semen, vomit, or sputum — into your mouth, nose, or eyes, or into your body via a cut or a needle stick. Doctors say that, as yet, there is no evidence anyone has ever been infected via sweat. “Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, particularly someone who is sick,” the CDC instructs. Can a cleanser kill the virus on surfaces? Yes. Killing the virus outside the body is easy. Unlike anthrax, Ebola also doesn’t form spores that can survive a good, alcohol-based cleaning, experts say.
