Finally! The most requested scarf design in our 15 year history! Ebola is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of several Ebola virus strains. It was first discovered near the Ebola River, in Zaire, 1976, and the Infectious Awareables™ artwork mirrors the microscopy of that strain. The natural host remains unknown, but the disease is likely animal-borne, and can spread through both direct contact and droplets. The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, with two cases imported to the U.S. It remains a particularly high risk to healthcare workers who come in close contact with infected patients.
