Ebola symptoms

Just so you'll know, there are 5 species of Ebola virus.

The incubation period for Ebola is usually 5 to 18 days but may extend from 2 to 21 days depending on the species of the virus.

Ebola virus is hemorrhagic disease:  That means massive, difficult to control bleeding.  The bleeding occurs even without there first being a wound.

The Ebola virus hemorrhagic disease symptoms in individuals are:

1. high fever
2. nausea and vomiting
3. headache
4. muscular pain
5. general malaise
6. inflammation of the pharynx (throat) - the first 6 symptoms are much like flu.
7. diarrhea with bloody discharge
8. development of maculopapular rashes (discolored skin with bumps) 
9. with bleeding at body orifices.

Specific human symptoms of Zaire Ebola virus and Sudan Ebola virus:

1. abdominal pain
2. joint pain
3. chest pain
4. coagulopathy (slow clotting of cuts)
5. hiccups
6. low blood pressure
7. sclerotic arterioles (clogging arteries)
8. purpura (skin discoloration that will not blanch under pressure)
9. petechia (patches of broken capillaries beneath the skin)
