Finally, someone defines bodily secretions! Why in the heck didnt they explain this as such in the first place. Dr. OZ explained this on his show last week. The virus has to go through the intestinal tract to be contagious. Beware of cell phones. Just a mental note...the most prominent germ on a cell phone is feces. (online.wsj/articles/SB10000872396390444868204578064960544587522) The best evidence that we have suggests that the overwhelming route of transmission is through contact with contaminated fluids with broken skin or mucous membranes, Srinivasan said. The fluids in question are PRIMARILY VOMIT & DIARRHEA, which develop as Ebola infection progresses. The experts said people become more infectious as they grow sicker with Ebola, as the amount of virus in their system escalates. Within the first day of the disease, when you simply have a fever and no production of bodily fluids, you dont see disease transmission through casual contact, Srinivasan said. So we assume that it is not easily transmissible during the incubation period or even into the first day or two of the disease, he said. No one in the family of Americas first diagnosed Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, became infected even though they were in the house with him when he became sick with vomiting and diarrhea, experts noted.
