That depends...: Transmission is from someone who has signs of active infection via contact wi blood or bodily fluids or through contact wi contaminated objects. Ebola can be spread through body fluids such as sweat, tears, blood, saliva, breast milk, semen, vomit, urine and stool. The virus can gain entry via cuts/ abrasions of skin, nose, mouth, eyes or any open wound. A person with active disease is needed >

Of course, this matter must be properly investigated & it would be ridiculous to ask for a diagnosis. Nonetheless, is it true that a common first sign of parkinonism is a shaking of the smallest digit on one hand? No one has noticed ANY other symptom
My right hand shakes, I mean I can put my two hands in the air and the right one keeps shaking and I don't think that this is normal , should I worry?
