Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bushmeat back on the diet of post-ebola Africa.

There's not much that scares the bejesus out of me, but Ebola and like diseases certainly do. I remember discussing with other healthcare professionals the chances of Ebloa mutating and becoming airborne a couple years ago during the height of the outbreak. While the odds of that happening are pretty slim, the odds of that being extremely horrific should it happen are damn near 100%.

It's not quite an extinction level event (with an airborne Ebola) but it would certainly thin the herd, maybe by up to 50%. There is no real protections in place either should something like that occur. From what I've seen the reactions would come far too late to be of any benefit.
