14 DAY TRIAL // The Ebola virus has been making headlines for several months now. Truth be told, it has killed thousands of people, so it really is no wonder that folks want to know more about it.
The good news is that, if you don't have time to read lengthy papers and articles about this deadly microorganism, you can just settle for watching the video below.
The animation made it online this past November 6 and it details pretty much everything there is to know about how the deadly Ebola virus behaves once it enters the body.
As detailed in the video, the Ebola virus is perfectly equipped to take on the body's immune system, essentially turning it into its slave. Thus, the virus first infects immune cells, which it turns into Ebola factories.
This is why the stronger and better put together a person's immune system is, the greater are the chances that this individual will develop a series of severe symptoms after being infected with the virus.
By toying with the body's immune system, the Ebola virus eventually causes internal bleeding and organ failure. Simply put, cells start dying, and soon enough, so does the person unlucky enough to contract the virus.
It is estimated that, until now, the ongoing epidemic in West Africa has made over 5,000 victims. Still, specialists reassure that, as long as they do not come into contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, healthy folks have nothing to fear.
