This is very scary to me. Can ebola actually be spread by by just a sneeze? If so, I am never leaving home again..nuff said.

It doesn't seem like it, at least from this ebola FAQ.

Thank you for your response.
I was just wondering that if a person is infected with ebola, doesn’t a sneeze emit bodily fluids?

“Growing concerns over ‘in the air’ transmission of Ebola”

The question isn’t is it airborne. The question now is what size of particle does it take to do the trick. And you only need one (1) viron to cause infection.
