Strangely it was noted that more women than men were affected by Ebola and as a result, death of female population was more in number both in Nigeria and Congo. The reason behind this was that mainly women are found doing the healthcare duties and majority of the care giving tasks due to which their chances of infection were much higher than the males of the society. Coming regularly in contact with so many sick people made them become the most common victims of Ebola. Ebola is believed to be a dangerous deadly virus that spreads the body damaging the immune system and the organs. The most common symptoms of Ebola are bleeding, vomiting, rashes and diarrhea. The first case of Ebola was reported in Lagos, Nigeria in 2014 and it later spread to other parts of the world.
