week #8

                    If I was Nancy Jaax I would be freaking out right about now. Nancy started working in her new job asap, which is pretty scary if you ask me. Her boss told her to inspect a big male monkey in a cage because he seemed dead, and so he was so Nancy and her boss carried out this monkey together to get further inspection and she noticed how the monkey still had his canine fangs which shook her up a little. One bite from an infected monkey would sure get them infected. Nancy laid this monkey on the table while grabbing her tools to finish inspection, she noticed red splotches big enough to see through the monkeys thick hair. As she cut open the chest cavity of the monkey she had to get cleaning because this monkey was diluted in a pool of Ebola blood. Everything in the monkey was filled with the virus, kinda freaked Nancy out so she told herself often to stay calm and slow down the procedure.
                   The Ebola virus is very similar to AIDS how it mutates each time and no one can figure out the pattern, it just links on and doesn't stop until all is taken over and the host can no longer feed the virus. The part that I read this week made my heart race it was so mind boggling. Nancy had to cut open the skull but they aren't allowed to use sharp objects in the lab so the had to use pliers and crack it open. They put the organs in preservatives so they could later research among them; while doing this she noticed a rip in part of her 3 gloves she was wearing and took it off to only find more monkey blood on the inside of  her second glove, and a rip in the second glove while her hand felt wet and clammy on the inside. Nancy flipped, showed her boss and told her to decontaminate immediately. Turns out when she left her band aid on she ended up freaking over her own blood and ending up being okay, but she still had a breach in the suit, just not all the way. Whew, that was intense.
