I am disturbed by this, as well of the literate world. This book personifies the angst of every germophobe, and rightly so. I will never look at coffee grounds or ride a plane ever again.

The Hot Zone was a very enthralling read-- I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in a day. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in epidemiology or virology.

This book is really difficult to understand at times. I would not recommend a person under 13 read this book!

...testicles bloat up and turn black and blue, the semen goes hot with Ebola, and the nipples may bleed. …The skin puffs up and separates from the flesh like a bag. ....a sudden awareness of male reproductive glands hanging on the exterior of the body between the legs ...testicles the size of pears, black and putrid, the skin peeling off them.
