- Sore throat
- Muscle pain
Follow by second stage:
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Rash
- Vomiting

- Bleeding includes internal/external (for ex: oozing from the gums, blood in stool, vagina, gastrointestinal tract, nose, eye, etc)

Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days. First stage of symptoms are usually similar to malaria, topic fevers, and dengue fever. But eventually proceed to the bleeding phase which is in cases about 40-50%. Heavy bleeding is rare but can be dangerous because heavy loss of blood may lead to death.
