Ebola Outbreak in Congo

Ever read the Hot Zone?

The horrifying Ebola Virus is devastating citizens in Southeastern Congo. It's already claimed more than 160 people with an estimated 400 more infected.

Its spread through human contact and its affects on the human body are right out of a horror story - it attacks the central nervous system and causes bleeding from the eyes, ears and other parts of the body - you bleed from every crevice as your insides become liquid.

It's horrifying stuff, and there is no cure.
