Since Ebola is a disease of the blood, the word mosquito should scare the crap out of us all...

Yep, that is why I am skeptical of those who say a person can not get HIV from a mosquito bite. I don't know if it is possible or not, but I am skeptical.

I did a search on mosquitos and ebola the other night. There wasn’t much that came up. I did find a good article about AIDS. They talked about the differences between malaria and other mosquito borne diesease from AIDS. They made some good points about how it is NOT like sharing a needle. (Enzymes in the mosquito, etc.) Also talked about how long AIDS is viable in the insect compared to the others.

I think the idea that Ebola would be much worse if it was transmitted by insects is probably correct.
