What is Ebola? Ebola is a virus that attacks every organ and every  tissue in the human body, except for sinews and bones. It is an ideal  parasite that turns almost every part of the organism into something  that looks like it underwent digestion. Seven proteins, of which very  little is known, work like a single tireless mechanism; a viral shark,  if you will.
It begins with clots appearing in the blood, which cause it to thicken  and slow down. Then they attach to walls of blood vessels, forming a  mosaic that covers bigger and bigger area every second. Clots grow in  number and size, clogging up capillaries and cutting off blood flow to  various parts of the body. This causes necrosis in parts of the brain,  kidneys, liver, lungs, digestive tract, sex organs and large segments of  skin. Beneath the skin, micro-effusions occur, covering it with red  spots. Ebola virus attacks connective tissues with particular fervor,  multiplying within collagen - basic protein of our tissues, which keeps  our skin and thus our entire body, whole. Somehow, Ebola's seven  proteins manage to destroy our body's own proteins. Collagen in victim's  body turn into mush, causing our subcutaneous layer to die and start  decaying. The skin becomes covered in cracks, which instantly start  bleeding profusely. Red spots grow in size, becoming huge bruises; skin  becomes soft, puffy and flakes at the slightest touch. The mouth bleeds,  gums bleed, every orifice in the body bleeds, no matter how small.  Surface of the tongue becomes purplish-red, and also starts flaking, to  either be swallowed or spat out. It is said that pain inflicted when  tongue surface flakes off is one of the worst kinds of agony imaginable.  Sometimes entire chunks of the tongue get ripped off during spasms of  vomiting, which cause the victim to heave out vile black liquid.
Surfaces of the throat and the respiratory tract also exfoliate, ending  up inside the lungs if they're not spat out. The heart's muscles weaken  and blood starts leaking into the ribcage. The brain becomes clogged  with dead blood cells, causing memory loss and dementia. Ebola attacks  eyeballs as well, causing them to fill with blood, frequently inducing  blindness. Eyes start leaking blood in such amounts that it streams down  the cheeks. Strokes are frequent at this stage, which, if not fatal,  result in partial or full paralysis. Yet despite the body getting filled  with dead clots of blood, the blood that leaks outside does not  coagulate. If you inspect this blood under a microscope, you will see  that it is dead. Red blood cells are destroyed completely - it looks  like someone ran the blood through a blender.
Eventually, necrosis of the organs begins, with the victim still alive.  The liver bloats, grows yellow in color, becomes porous and then breaks  apart. Cracks line its entire surface, reaching deep down. Liver  collapses and starts decaying. Kidneys becomes filled with dead cells  and blood clots and also cease to function, instantly contaminating the  blood with urine that was trapped inside them. The spleen simply turns  into one big, hard blood clot the size of a baseball. Digestive tract  also becomes filled with blood clots. Inner surface of the stomach  mortifies and falls away in chunks, which are later expelled from the  organism during defecation, along with copious amounts of blood. Ebola  infection is also fatal for pregnant women, causing a miscarriage.  Fetuses that result from this are also bleeding from every orifice and  are literally soaked with the virus, due to the placenta not being able  to block it.
Finally, Ebola completely destroys the patient's brain, with its victims  suffering from epileptic fits in the process. This is the last stage of  the disease. The entire body convulses, with bleeding eyes rolling so  far up that only whites - or, in this case, reds - can be seen. During  the fits, blood literally gushes from the patient in every direction;  this is when most infections occur, due to people getting splashed by  it. Ebola multiplies so fast that the affected cells form crystalloids  of compressed viral particles. These formations were dubbed "bricks" by  the researchers. They can be found in every part of the body - heart,  digestive tract or even eyes. Upon death, the corpse decays surprisingly  quickly, collapsing unto itself. Since most of the body's organs were  dead for some time already, the body dissolves almost instantly, no  longer being able to sustain the havoc that virus wreaks.
