    You laugh about that but people are using it as am excuse to be seen quicker at a hospital. Its the new "chest pain" excuse.

    I needed to get that off my chest.

    Did you know that most of our chocolate is made in West Africa??? :o

    Not that it matters.....hopefully make you feel a bit better, but Chocolate isn't made in West Africa....They just pick the cocoa beans and sell them to distributors. Most of the people that farm the cocoa beans don't even know what they are used for. They don't even know what chocolate is. All they know is that they make a living picking them.....Check out this video of some farmers trying chocolate for the first time!

    By the time those beans go through processing any virus, however unlikely, would die.

    Right now there is a group of soccer moms who are blaming gluten for ebola.

    gluten is evil, also the 57 names the big bad corporations use to mask sugar... ¬¬

    someone called me today and started telling me about how the government is lying about ebola not being airborn and that it must spread easier than they say but they just want us to not panic...

    but i dont get that. if it were a new virus, maybe they could make up facts about it... but its not like they could go to every internet site, medical journal, and everyones brain who knows, and change the facts about a virus that has been around for years...

    she said she saw it on the internet so it must be true.

    i am not freaked out at this time, because no point in freaking out really, what good does it do? . i am not one of those people who would survive an apocalypse. i am more like that couple on titanic that just held hands and laid in the bed and waited.

    Your point is.

    Do you think they will be squeezing all that Ebola blood and body fluids in the chocolate mixture. If that is your fear, stop eating chocolate and save yourself all this stress.

    I'm crying :D

    Chillax. It's really rare to get it. I'm a hypochondriac and yeah I've freaked about it, but it's not even here in Eng. I know it is in America, but still it would be rare. It isn't airborne. What happens is at some point it will just die out. It is a virus that comes and goes every 30 years or so. You should be more worried about the flu. The only people who are actually getting it is people who have been to places in Africa and contracted it there where it is rife. Very few others get it.

    No offense, but the person who told you that, is very gullible and has got that info off some scaremongerer. If it was airborne, with the amount of people that got it, the whole world would of been infected by now. It's been around since Feb.

    1) The government has made lots of reassurances that didn't pan out, so just don't swallow what any guy with a title says. We are to obey the rule of law - we don't have to believe what they say.

    2) Like another poster said, fear is not of God. There are many factors outside of our control, and if it is not within your power to solve it, stop worrying about it. Just be aware and do what you can do.

    Ebola doesn't matter, you'll probaby just get hit by a bus anyway.
