A member asked:
I got some quarters from a shop some of them were yellowish and black.can ebola be spread through coins previously used by the few us ebola patients?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It is highly unlikely that ebola virus would remain viable on coins. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

No: It is likely in open air - that there would be no disease transmission from dried infected bodily fluids outside the body after several hours.
