As the disease gets worse, it causes bleeding inside the body, as well as from the eyes, ears, and nose. Some people will vomit or cough up blood, have bloody diarrhea, and get a rash.
Treatment Options
Currently there is no vaccine for this disease, however in recent news there is a mention of a vaccine; but at this time the Central for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not made any comment.
