Vintage photos show the terrifying first expeditions into the Congo to track down Ebola
THE FIRST KNOWN Ebola outbreak devastated a small village called Yambuku and the surrounding area in the north of the Congo in 1976.
When it started to kill patients in a missionary hospital, a Flemish nun was infected, and samples of her blood were sent to Belgium. Scientists soon realized they were dealing with something unknown.

Re: Vintage photos show the terrifying first expeditions into the Congo to track down Ebola
Thanks for sharing that. I find it interesting that
most infected were pregnant women who had been
given "vitamin" shots.
Also, I am assuming the doctor didn't get infected, as
he wrote a book.

I am not op, but I would think it would be terrifying..not
knowing what they were dealing with, and coming across
villages where the people were dying, and at the same
time, those tribes
thinking either the expedition were hostile, or
trying to get on the plane to get away....also, being aware
one could catch whatever it was.
