The Ebola virus effects the human body  by attacking every organ in the body and tissue besides except for the bones and skeletons. It effects the human body in various ways like coming in contact with the person infected by easily inhaling or touching. But now the question is how would you know that if your in contact with someone who has the virus? especially if the person is still at the early stages of EVD.
