I Don't think so. It is not air proof and it is too heavy to wear it for long time say 30 minutes.

It might stop bodily fluids frm getting in your face but it certainly isn't air tight! Surely the medical profession would have a better choice!!

Very funny Berta. No I would not expect it could be used for the Ebola virus, however, if you were suddenly caught up in a food fight, no peanut butter sandwich can penetrate it! ;)

Well they say that if you find yourself in a environment where the Ebola virus is present wearing a suit that covers your entire body . I'd say this is a pretty good suit for the price . Just make sure you have something that will cover your forehead area like a piece of cloth or something . In a nutshell yea this is a good suit to use for Ebola just make sure you don't rip the suit but that goes without saying .

I would not think this would be something you would use this for. Unit is very small and I recall you need to hold this device very close (a few inches away) from area being sanitized.

Yes; I traveled to west Africa with this product and no problems at all. It didn't leak ( I did carry in a zip lock bag just in Case) and only bitten when I forgot to apply the spray. I hope this helps.m

Thanks for your question. It can be used to protect any device that is within the load specifications of the device. Thanks again.

Yes, it may be used on any surface but I wouldn't use it for medical reasons. It's not as accurate as a thermometer used to check for a fever on babies. I wouldn't trust it for that use.

Yes. Of course, I've used this for the same purpose along with a few other usages... It worked quite well provided you've take care of the necessary precautions as described in the user's manual provided and available online...

I would not think that this product would work for this use. I use it as a protection from toe rubbing on a shoe. It is very soft and does not have the stiffness needed for straigtening.

you can use a ground cover,avail thru amazon, to protect it. its a light material that keeps out some pests.

I'm not a qualified health worker but can answer this question from a common knowledge basis. The Ebola virus is not an airborne virus. It is transmitted by direct contact. Per the WHO, "Ebola ...spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids." So, generally this respirator will not directly defend or protect one from the Ebola virus. However, it can provide secondary or indirect protection. Wearing the respirator will protect the mouth, nose and parts of the face from exposure to or contact with infected hands or other body parts or body fluids/blood. This is the best response that I can give. I recommend contacting qualified health care workers for more information.

No. Household bleach, alcohol-based products, 3% acetic acid (white vinegar). If you use bleach, you need to cover the surface for 10 minutes, so just wiping with bleach won't do it. However, all this is for if you are actually caring for an Ebola patient. Use instant hand sanitizer with alcohol (like you would during cold-and-flu season anyway) and don't care for Ebola patients. You'll be fine. The CDC's site didn't seem that helpful for the general public. The Canadians do a better job (a little technical): http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php

I have not had to use it. I bought it with purpose of having to use it if I was attacked by a human. I saw it at a trade show and the vendor stated it can be used as a line of protection from any attackers.

I'm not qualified to answer that question you should ask the manufacturer. However if it were me I would think it better to protect the child then take a chance on getting bitten and getting some illness. I do know they work well. Another thing is to put an unused fabric softner sheet in the pocket of the child this also will help with the bugs.

No. I thought so at first, but then, sure enough, two weeks later... Ebola. Caveat emptor.

NO! And the fact you are asking such a question indicates you are woefully under informed about the nature of transmission vectors and pathways, and infection mechanisms - if you have a specific fear, travel plans to high risk areas, or have come into contact with or have a person with a communicable disease in your living area you should consult with a physician or public health official immediately in order to put the proper isolation measures in place. At the very least seek out the advice of a free clinic physician in your area.

I haven't used it but it's good to have as a protection plan just in case,God forbid, it breaks or ends up not working. Hoped this helps :)

I do not believe this could constitute a problem. To be on the safe side, write the seller with that particular concern. My purse is stuffed to the brink and my fear would be trying to find the spray fast enough to contain the threat. Perhaps some type of enclosure could be designed.?....
