...radiation, primarily from the sun, and can be cleanly removed with surgery. The lesions, which were found during the President's annual physical on Friday, enlarge over a period of months and even years, and are distinguished by their shiny, firm appearance and ivory-colored borders. Some growths bleed and heal repeatedly, making it easy to mistake them for sores instead of tumors...

Quickly after the onset of these initial, mostly benign symptoms, more serious symptoms such as chest pain and shock ensue, and some patients become blind or begin to bleed profusely. This bleeding is caused by the breakdown of membranous tissues that separate different parts of the body from others.

Membranes that separate the patient from the outside world also breakdown, releasing this internal viral slurry. In effect, the patient becomes a human virus bomb...

The strain that hit Uganda is called Ebola-Sudan; it struck twice in Sudan...

"I used to bleed from dancing so much. I would peel my toenails off and throw them away because they were completely black from the pain. To look at them now and see they are like this--they have a lot of life for me." That's why, when you ask her to name her favorite part of her body, she wiggles her toes...
