04/17/2006 | It's so hard to imagine contracting one of these diseases, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take all necessary precautions, even if you think to yourself, "Hey, something like that could never happen to me." Diseases like this are so real and deadly but easy to avoid if you know how, where, and why to do so.

01/04/2005 | This is truly horrifying...almost to the point of never wanting to leave the house. It is as if traveling to a foregn country makes one a magnet for diseases of this nature.

09/28/2004 | I wokie up one morn with bloody plegm that turned to pure blood in a few hours. my lips were blue from oxygen starvation and my body ached like hell especially my chest which felt like broken ribs. Afther a week of tests and oxygen i went home. This was six months ago, and the symptoms i had matched to a T several people who contracted rodent-borne hantaviruses in the NYC area. Being I worked in an exotic pets shop at the time and had just recieved a shipment of egyptian spiny mice, i think I had hantaan, maybe Puumala, or one of the other vaguely different pulmonary hemorragic hantas. Maybe the one that comes from the Navajo country. They say its a curse on the white man for all the smallpox and measles we gave them centuries ago.

11/25/2003 | The saddest part is if you get Ebola, You die!
Anyways about this disease, You do bleed to death literally. Mostly from your mouth, nose, and anal regions.
Not exactly a pretty disease.
I feel great pity for all the African people who have this and die a painful slow death.
I hope we find a cure for hemmoragic fevers soon!

09/20/2003 | Man, when I read The Hot Zone I had trouble sleeping for a whole week. I love horror literature, but nothing fictional I have ever read could possibly approach this non-fiction account of the Ebola virus. It terrified me. These diseases will kill you in a matter of days, which is the only reason they haven't wiped out humanity (it kills you before you can infect very many people - it's that fast). I sincerely hope that these sicknesses render a person totally unaware of what is happening to them, because to be completely conscious of the whole process would be complete hell. You 'bleed out' through every orifice; your internal organs turn to mush and evacuate your body. You spit, vomit, piss, cry, sweat, and shit blood for like five days before you finally die. This is something you want to avoid.

09/10/2003 | Although rare, hemmoragic fevers are nasty beyond belief. Just reading The Hot Zone will scare you enough to never want to leave your house again. How does bleeding out of your eyes and crapping out your internal organs sound to you?
