Ebola outbreak: No, you should not be that worried. A make up case you ordered will probably not be contaminated with anything, especially Ebola. Most of the people affected by Ebola were living in West Africa.

Not to worry: Your make up case is almost certainly made in China, India or another Asian locale. It is almost certainly not from West Central Africa. There are few items in the US economy from this locale, so you have nothing to worry about.

It is doublful: that many makeup cases are exported from the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal. The makeup case would need to have been contaminated by infected body fluids such as sweat, blood, saliva, urine and stool.
