10. A more serious problem will be if it mutates where it will be able to be passed

by insects . It has a better chance of that happening than it going airborne.

It has mutated 400 times in the ten year study they did.

Funny thing is Ebola and Lyme disease were discovered about the same time in the 1975
Doctors and researchers didn't discover what Lyme disease was until years later and that
it was being spread by tick bites . It started in 1975 in a very a small town in CT with 40 to 50 people
being diagnosed with arthritis to the point where many as young as 5 years old were
confined to wheelchairs .

From then until now it has spread to
Delaware
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Minnesota
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Vermont
Virginia
Wisconsin


and affects over 300,000 people a year


The studies that have been conducted with Ebola have said that there is no evidence that it can be spread
through mosquitoes or ticks , No research has ever said that it can't be either...just that there's no evidence .

The way this is mutating now it's very possible it can go from animal to insect in how it can be spread.


Ebola is one of the most deadly virus yet the research that has been done on it is infant.
